Scoresby Sound

Greenland

Scoresbysund, or Kangertittivaq, is the world's largest fjord system, on the east coast of Greenland. A labyrinth of channels and branches covering an area larger than many countries, it cuts 350 kilometers into the land. Expedition ships navigate its arms beneath towering peaks to see colossal icebergs, calving glaciers, muskoxen, Arctic hares and birds, remains of Thule settlements, and the single village of Ittoqqortoormiit in the world's grandest fjord landscape.
