TASERMIUT FJORD TOUR

DETAILS

  • 4 Hours
  • Limited Accessibility

Cruise the sheltered waters of Tasermiut Fjord and marvel at the extraordinary scenery along this waterway that stretches deep into southwestern Greenland. You will travel into the fjord’s mouth near Nanortalik and continue on into a natural wonderland of steep-walled mountains, snow-capped peaks and gorgeous vistas that seem to go on forever. Thousands of Norse Vikings settled this area in the 10th century and remnants of their stone buildings still stand in the stark treeless landscape. Today, dozen sheep farms blanket much of the suitable terrain.


You will also pass landmarks such as Nuugaarsuk Point on the fjord’s eastern shore and Saputit, an inlet whose name refers to the stone weirs that the indigenous Inuits built to hold fish. If the conditions permit, you will have the opportunity to disembark and walk on the surrounding ice cap. Be sure to keep an eye out for wildlife such as ringed seals, minke whales and white-tailed eagles.
