East Greenland
Many people who have travelled the world are certain that East Greenland is the most beautiful place on earth; few places are as remote and pristine. The word “Tunu” translates into “backside” and is used by Greenlanders to describe East- Greenland. The 1.500 nautical miles (2.700 km) stretch of the east coast includes the world’s largest national park and three bays with a total of 3.500 inhabitants and a very limited flow of visitors. Untouched and unspoiled, East Greenland is spectacular, rough and remote. It is the perfect place for real yachting adventure for those who love to experience unspoiled nature. Eastern Greenland will impress you with enormous glaciers, the continental ice as well as the rugged and steep terrain which comprises the deep fjords.
South Greenland
South Greenland is often referred to as the ‘Garden of Greenland, with beautiful fjords and colourful valleys offering amazing hiking experiences for the active explorer. The landscape is a stunning myriad of mountain peaks, glaciers, and deep fjords. Erik the Red (Icelandic Eiríkur Rauði) founder of the settlement of Greenland first landed here in 985. Erik the Red was the father of Leif Eiríksson the first explorer of North America. Erik the Red left Iceland after being exiled after killing his fellow farmer, he rounded the southern tip of Greenland and settled on an island at the mouth of Eriksfjörð (now known as Tunulliarfik Fjord) near Qaqortoq (formerly Julianehåb). From there they explored the west and north for two years. Erik chose the inner area of Eriksfjord for his settlement which he called Brattahlid (“Steep Slope”) now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. He named the country Greenland in the belief that a good name would attract settlers.

Located about halfway between Norway and Iceland. The rocky volcanic archipelago that comprises the Faroe Islands has incredible coasts with large cliffs featuring amazing views and massive bird colonies that include puffins. Experience the legacy of the Vikings amid the turf-roofed cottages and distinctive coastal villages. Best visited during the summer, consider cruising the Faroe Islands on a small yacht to be able to access smaller beaches, reefs, and coves. The capital in the Faroe Islands lies in the heart of the island group and is a delight to explore. Tórshavn is named after Tór, the god of weather, strength, and growth in Norse mythology. This far-flung Nordic city is home to just over 20.000 inhabitants. Despite the tiny population, Tórshavn is an appealing spot in the North Atlantic Ocean with plentiful culture, nature, and excellent food.
