Wow, what a wonderful day experiencing Ilulissat! Skies were blue and the temperatures balmy as guests enjoyed two very special activities, including a visit to the Ilulissat Icefjord Centre and a local boat tour of the fjord.
The Ilulissat Icefjord is an UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the center provides many exhibits that help document the significance of the fjord. Adjacent to the center, a boardwalk allows access to the side slopes of the ice fjord. The viewing experience of these icebergs was seriously enhanced when guests were able to board local sightseeing boats for a two-hour excursion amongst the beautiful and naturally sculptured ice forms. Many guests were also treated to a special event when our local guides located several humpback whales. Blessed to be in the presence of these whales, it was quite an occasion to be able to hear the blows and to watch their majestic maneuvers against an ice landscape that was mystical and magical.
It was truly exceptional to be immersed in nature in this remarkable part of West Greenland.
