Trek across ancient moraine and glacial outwash on Milne Land, one of the fjord's largest islands, with sweeping views of two calving glacier fronts.
What to expect
After a Zodiac landing, you hike across rocky moraine and springy tundra, gaining elevation toward a ridge with views of two distinct glacier tongues meeting the fjord. Guides point out striations in the rock left by retreating ice thousands of years ago. The silence, broken only by distant ice calving, is part of the experience. Hikes are paced to the group, from easy walks to more demanding scrambles.
Good to know
Confirm fitness level and pace preference in advance, as routes vary in difficulty. Bring layered clothing; weather shifts quickly even in summer. Coordinate landing time carefully with ship tender schedules as this is a full excursion window.
