Sailing towards the South Pole

In the wake of the explorers

‘On an ancient world map, only one grim word is stretched across the southern hemisphere: brumae, the Latin plural for cold. No ship ventured so far from land out of fear to sail off the world straight to the gates of hell. In some stories the end of that world was a burning purgatory, others ventured to believe that nothing was left except icy cold, colder than death’.

PLAN YOUR TRIP

Explore Greenland with North Sailing

North Sailing is based in Húsavík, Iceland. With traditional wooden sailing ships, they organise expeditions in East Greenland. The journey departs by plane from Reykjavik in Iceland. During the last expedition of the season, you have the chance to sail the ship back to Iceland. A great adventure in itself, but with Húsavík being the whale-watching capital of Iceland, you have a chance to kill two birds with one stone. Interested in sailing along?
