Icebergs are one of the coolest subjects for any landscape photographer to photograph because of their multitude of shapes and their ever-changing forms. There are different kinds of icebergs, and the most spectacular ones are usually the ones that break off of glaciers.

Scoresby Sound (Danish: Scoresby Sund, Greenlandic: Kangertittivaq) is a large fjord system of the Greenland Sea on the eastern coast of Greenland. It is one of the largest and longest fjord systems in the world. The countless icebergs found here originate from the numerous glaciers that flow into the fjord system from the Greenland Ice Sheet. Some of the world’s most enormous icebergs are found here, with heights reaching over 100 meters (300 feet) ABOVE sea level. Epic stuff!

Squiver Management has therefore decided unanimously that there will be an Ice Ice Baby Icebergs and Landscapes of Greenland tour, late August – early September 2026.

Droning on a boat?
Technically it’s possible for the über skilled amongst you This trip offers you incredible opportunities as it serves up some mind-blowing aerial shots — think icebergs, fjords, and polar landscapes straight out of a sci-fi movie. Remember: strong winds, moving decks, and curious seabirds should keep things interesting. As usual, Squiver management is not responsible for lost drones or teary faces. We’ll simply assign you a private corner on the boat to cry.

As if the icebergs are not reason enough for you to float to Greenland, the fjords are also awe-inspiring.

ABOUT THE TOUR

Our journey begins at Constable Point (Hurry Inlet) before we set sail into a landscape that defies imagination. Along the way, we’ll navigate through a labyrinth of small icebergs and striking rock formations, an area where we have the best chance of spotting ivory gulls and maybe even a polar bear. Moving deeper into the fjords, we reach Bjørneøer (Bear Islands), one of the most scenic places on Earth. Here, breathtaking mountains, vibrant tundra, and grounded icebergs sculpted by wind and waves create an Arctic paradise. We’ll likely linger for a couple of days — because why rush perfection?

If conditions allow, we’ll venture into Harefjord, Rypefjord, and Rødefjord, where glacier-fed waters wind through dramatic landscapes. This region offers the best odds of spotting musk ox, roaming the tundra like relics of a prehistoric past. Whether we make it here depends on weather, speed limits, and how much time we spend marveling at everything else along the way. As we sail into Hall Bredning, we’ll be surrounded by massive, towering icebergs, often illuminated by golden light in the early and late hours, setting the stage for some next-level photography moments.

While this isn’t a wildlife tour, the few species that call this extreme environment home are worth the wait. Musk ox wander the tundra, their shaggy coats built for survival, while Arctic foxes and hares blend into the landscape with their seasonal camouflage. Ringed and bearded seals occasionally appear, lounging on floating ice, and if luck is truly on our side, we might even glimpse a Gyrfalcon or a Snowy owl. Narwhals do exist in these waters, though sightings are rare — so don’t hold your breath, unless you’re one of them.

There is also a fair chance of witnessing the Northern Lights dance above the icy expanse!

This is a journey into one of the last great frontiers, where the landscapes do all the talking. If you’re after breathtaking scenery, pristine air, and photography that will ruin you for all other destinations — this is it.

Sailing on the Kinfish: our arctic home on the water

This could be a chance to reconnect with a ship we’ve used before in Svalbard! We’ll be sailing on the Kinfish, a ship once used for Norwegian government survey missions. We last explored the Arctic on this very vessel in 2019, and let’s just say — it was love at first voyage.

Built in 1958 and ice-strengthened, the Kinfish is made for Arctic conditions, with multiple outdoor decks at different levels — perfect for photography, wildlife spotting, and just soaking in the raw beauty of the high north.

Inside, this 12-passenger expedition ship (ourselves + 10 lucky guests) has been modernized for comfort. Think pretty spacious cabins, cozy communal areas, and a top-level observation deck for unbeatable views.

One of its standout features? A small ship, but superior stabilization, making it steadier than most ships of its size — because no one likes an unnecessary tango with the waves. The ultra-modern bridge is also a tech-lover’s dream, featuring a 3D sea-bed scanner, so you can see what’s beneath the surface without getting your feet wet.

Get ready for an unforgettable Arctic experience — we can’t wait to welcome you aboard!
