This long read covers pretty much every aspect of our 12-day Gems of West Greenland aboard Quark Expeditions' Ultramarine. We were blessed with excellent weather and the sunshine and blue skies brought out the best in Greenland's rugged, polar landscape. Our superb sea kayaking experiences top the long list of things we particularly enjoyed, with visits to three colorful and friendly towns a close second.
For 3 weeks in November/December 2023, we sailed on Aurora Expedition's Greg Mortimer to Antarctica, South Georgia and the Falklands/Malvinas. This is one of a series of blog posts detailing our shipboard experience, sea kayaking and other excursions, wildlife and bird sightings, and more.
