I’ve been back and forth between Canada and Greenland for the last month and a half. It’s always a privilege to explore the ice here in Ilulissat, and I’ve been posting to the @lindbladexp account all week with pics from this Greenland/Iceland voyage. Our National Geographic Explorer’s grant begins next week. Time for a new adventure –…

Small boats come and go all day and night from the harbour in Ilulissat. Fishermen often head out on their own, sometimes to set the lines, sometimes to pull them in. Any given morning there will be a couple of dozen men sitting at the dock and baiting their hooks, 500 at a time. It…

Post 1 of 2. When Ole got his first motorbike, he went north while all of his friends went south. He visited northern Norway and has never stopped with the north. He’s been to the Faroe Islands and Iceland. He lives in Greenland now, and his wife is from here. Now that he is 62,…

Portrait of Climate Change. Home grown potatoes in Ilulissat, Greenland. Ole Gamst-Pedersen, the curator of the art museum grew them himself. “This wouldn’t have been possible ten years ago.” Not quite the gorgeous pastels of @zarialynn that help us see how precious ice is, but I’ve never met a potato that gave me so much…
Ilulissat. Where all the beauty comes at once. Sun setting. Moon rising. Ice glowing. And the aurora can’t even wait for darkness. @paulzizkaphoto @davebrosha #lindbladexpeditions #lovetheworld #diskobay #arctic #ilulissat #greenland #bbctravel #aurora #auroraborealis #auroraboreale #northernlights #icefjord #jacobshavn #unesco #upallnight
Hello Ilulissat! We are here in the Disko Bay area of West Greenland with perfect weather. It’s time to explore the trails and the town. Stay tuned. #meetthenorth #lindbladexpeditions #greenland #ilulissat #arctic #diskobay #townlife
It’s time to leave Greenland. I am really going to miss this place. So long to the summer nights and the exquisite ice. We will meet again. I am bound for Iceland to meet some new friends, find an old friend and begin a most excellent road trip. See you there.
