Fjords and Tundra Treks

[September 17-29, 2012] Beginning and ending in Iceland's cosmopolitan capital, this 14-day Arctic cruise takes you across the Denmark Strait and up the coast of East Greenland to Ittoqqortoormiit (Scorsebysund), one of the most northerly settlements in the world. As the autumn nights lengthen, you'll visit Inuit communities preparing for winter, hike frost-sparkled tundra meadows, and watch in wonder as the northern lights dance across the darkening skies.
