I am sailing in Greenland…

… Out in the wild and back in time. 

I just came back from the most amazing boatride out to the abandoned settlement Assaqutaq – the ghost town of Sisimiut. 

I’ll make this easy for you. This tour is full of adventure, majestic nature and history. I won’t spoil it too much cuz really, you should see this for yourself. So sit back, check out my pictures and ask yourself how fast you can get onboard and straight ahead to Sisimiut and Assaqutaq.

Seeing Assaqutaq is one thing – it is beautiful and sad at the same time.
However, sailing there and being on a boat on a night like this, is really something. So if you are in Greenland and you get the chance to go sailing, DO IT!!! 

Niels, the captain, made sure we went by all the most perfect whale-spots, but unfortunately the whales took a day off. We did however spot two curious seals – who suddenly remembered that the hunting season was on-going, at left in a hurry.
 

This tour is for the nature-lovers, the historically interested, the culturally curious and for all those who enjoy being at sea just breathing in the salty, fresh air of wild nature.

I’m gonna go again soon, cuz honestly, I’m addicted by now!

Hi and welcome to my Guide to Greenland travel blog. My name is Christina, I'm a danish anthropologist and business consultant with a huge passion for the arctic and nordic way of life. I have visited Greenland several times and here on my blog you can read about the everyday adventures and the unique way of living that Greenland offers. I do my best to tell stories with pictures more than words...but then again, I really do like writing. I specifically like writing about the inuit culture, the spectacular nature (and how it can become your playground), the arctic wildlife and about traditional food and drinks in Greenland. Most of all I just hope that this blog will make you too curious to stay at home, cuz really, you should come and experience it all for yourself.
