Webinar – West Greenland

An expedition cruise through the untamed wilderness of West Greenland is a truly unique experience. Here, you will find icebergs in all shapes and sizes, mighty glaciers, and towering mountain ranges. Enchanting fjord systems and small Inuit communities with colourful settlements line our path as we navigate with our small 12-passenger ship M/S Balto. We keep an eye out for the giants of the sea and may have the chance to see humpback whales, fin whales, and pilot whales. Would you like to know more about what you can experience on an expedition in West Greenland? Watch our recorded webinar where Thomas Lund Johansen, one of PolarQuest's most experienced Greenland guides, takes us on a visual journey through the areas around Disko Bay and Uummannaq, and along the coast from Ilulissat to Narsarsuaq.

Webinar – East Greenland

Experience an adventure in a part of the world that remains undiscovered by many, characterised by magnificent nature and authentic culture. The landscape around Sermilik Fjord and its surroundings is breathtakingly beautiful, and the palpable silence enhances the feeling of being at the 'end of the world'. With its fairy-tale fjords, glittering icebergs, and colourful houses adorning the solitary cliffs, this place offers a truly unforgettable experience – unlike anything else. With our comfortable 12-passenger ship M/S Balto, we can explore remote locations, get closer to nature, and maximize the experience for every traveller in the untamed wilderness of East Greenland.

Webinar: Whales and Northern Lights in Northern Norway

Are you dreaming of encountering the giants of the sea? Travelling through the magical fjords of northern Norway on a small ship that carries only 12 passengers is an experience that leaves few people untouched. In true expedition style we explore the area around Alta, where groups of humpback whales and orcas have gathered in recent years in search of large herring shoals. If we're lucky, we may be treated to truly immersive and unforgettable encounters with these magnificent creatures. As darkness falls, we'll keep our eyes on the sky, hoping it will be painted with the brushstrokes of the majestic Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis). Read more about the trip! Does this sound enticing? Then check out our recorded webinar from Sep 2024 with polar guide Christian Engelke, who has led our whale and Northern Lights expeditions for the past few years!

Webinar – Ostgrönland und der mächtige Sermilik-Fjord in german

Im Herzen der grönländischen Wildnis liegt ein verstecktes Juwel, das nur darauf wartet, erkundet zu werden - der herrliche Sermilik-Fjord und seine Umgebung, die voller schöner Wandermöglichkeiten sind. In vielerlei Hinsicht sind diese Teile der Welt noch unentdeckt. Wir werden von hoch aufragenden Bergketten, kalbenden Gletschern, Eisbergen in allen Formen und Größen und kristallklarem Wasser begrüßt. Es kann schwierig sein, Grönland auf eigene Faust zu erkunden, denn 80 % des Landes sind von Eis bedeckt, die Entfernungen sind groß und die Infrastruktur ist nicht so, wie wir es gewohnt sind - es gibt weder Straßen noch Bahnverbindungen. Zum Glück gibt es Alternativen, wie z. B. eine Expeditionskreuzfahrt auf dem eleganten und komfortablen 12-Passagier-Schiff M/S Balto! Möchten Sie mehr über die bevorstehenden Abenteuer auf der M/S Balto in Ostgrönland erfahren? Dann schauen Sie sich unser aufgezeichnetes Webinar vom November 2024 an! Die Präsentation wird von Henry Páll Wullf, einem unserer erfahrenen Expeditionsleiter, gehalten.

Die Vortragssprache des Webinars ist Deutsch.

Möchten Sie mehr über die norwegische Inselgruppe Svalbard (früher bekannt als Spitzbergen) erfahren?

Die Präsentation wird von Christian Engelke, einem unserer langjährigen Expeditionsleiter, gehalten und das Webinar wird auf Deutsch sein..
