Private Zodiac Expedition Among Umivik Bay's Icebergs

Glide in a private Zodiac through a labyrinth of ancient blue-green icebergs calved from the Greenland Ice Sheet. This intimate, expert-led voyage puts you inches from towering ice sculptures in total silence — one of the rarest sights on Earth.

What to expect

Your polar-certified guide pilots the Zodiac into channels between cathedral-sized icebergs, explaining how the Greenland Ice Sheet has been calving here for millennia. You'll hear the deep groans and sudden cracks of shifting ice — a genuinely primal Arctic sound. The guide positions the craft to capture the extraordinary turquoise blue of ice lit from within. Wildlife sightings — ringed seals, Arctic terns, and occasionally humpback whales — are common along these routes.
