Description
In this region, inaccessible to traditional ships at this time of year, fine discoveries are to be made aboard this ship designed for polar exploration: set off to explore this wild land protected by the ice floe and share special moments with its inhabitants, the Greenlandic Inuit. The history of the French polar expeditions also takes on its full meaning and nourishes this exceptional voyage. Set off to discover a wild land in the footsteps of the illustrious Jules de Blosseville, Jean-Baptiste Charcot or Paul-Émile Victor.
In the Ammassalik region, the light of the midnight sun dresses the huge glaciers, winding fjords, gigantic icebergs and plates of sea ice. Here, the rays that skim the horizon offer a magical palette of blue, magenta, purple and pink.
This is the time the Inuit, whose lives follow the rhythm of the changing seasons and the ice, devote themselves to their spring traditions, which include hunting on dog sleds. You will share moments of life with them on the ice floe, which, like a village square, is a magical centre for exchange. In this magnificent setting, time seems to stretch on as a magical spell is cast.
Further north lies Blosseville Coast, discovered by the eponymous lieutenant in 1833, during a journey that led to his disappearance. This resulted, two years later, in the setting up of one of the largest French exploration missions.
On the East coast of Greenland, connections are established and interwoven, there are no minor or major events: all that matters is the sharing and the intensity of this time spent in the heart of the ice.
