Today we awoke on National Geographic Endurance to beautiful pink skies and icebergs passing by the ship as we sat down for breakfast. We enjoyed a nice cruise into the furthest northwestern fjord of Scoresby Sund. Today was a lovely day filled with ice and dramatic scenery, making it hard to walk away from the window for even just a moment.

Romer Fiord, Greenland
Trying to avoid the low pressure that is passing by the strait of Denmark right now, we decided on a bonus morning landing inside the Romer Fiord. Under a beautiful sun, guests disembarked to walk and take in views from the fiord. Through a scope to spot wildlife, we saw a walrus taking a nap on a piece of ice far away. By afternoon, it was time to say goodbye to Greenland and start heading back to Iceland. We enjoyed lectures from our naturalists and a wonderful teatime. We finished our day with a traditional Filipino dinner. We are ready for you, Iceland!

National Geographic Endurance
Vikingebugt and Terrassevik, Scoresbysund, East Greenland
We explored columnar basalt, icebergs, and waterfalls at Vikingebugt, and we hiked on a moraine beside the glacier at Terrassevik. Our young travelers share impressions with us today… This trip has been amazing! The ship is so nice. The food is great. The hikes have been cool, and don’t get me started on the polar bears. We have done lots of kids’ meetings with Steve, and we visited the Bridge and took a tour of the Zodiac garage. My all-time favorite was getting to drive Zodiacs! Getting to today: a polar bear sighting woke me up! It was magical. Later, we went on a Zodiac cruise with amazing waterfalls and views. I love all the flowers and plants, too. It was a great day, and so was yesterday. The crew band was so talented last night. –Calla, age 14 The coolest part about our day was the ‘Mario’ hike. These strenuous hikes are the highlight of the trip for me. They let you see the ship and the area from a different point of view, and they make you work for it. –Macord, age 17
