Take a heart-racing cruise around wild Greenland - AOL

HX Expeditions’ MS Fridtjof Nansen headed along Greenland’s west coast from Nuuk, moving at about 15 knots as it sailed for 40 hours toward Ilulissat, where icebergs from the Ilulissat Icefjord surround the town. The fjord accounts for around 3% of the world’s icebergs. On board, passengers joined a “Tide to Table” outing led by local chef Inunnguaq Hegelund, who prepared Greenland-inspired dishes using local ingredients including dried fish, reindeer patties and narwhal skin. The report also describes walks near the Jakobshavn Glacier and a 65km-long glacier system. Later, dining options catered to 490 passengers with dishes like halibut tartare and snow crab. Uummannaq’s 1,170-metre twin peak is highlighted too.
