Arctic Odyssey: Iceland, Greenland and Canada
Sail in the wake of early Viking explorers on a compelling journey that mixes Arctic wildlife and landscapes with a riveting history that comes alive in well-preserved ruins and local communities continuing to thrive on the edge of the Arctic. Start your adventure in Iceland’s remote Westfjords before charting a course for southern Greenland, where you’ll glide into dramatic fjords flanked by towering, jagged mountains; and visit colorful Qaqortoq, the unofficial capital of the region. In Canada, trace wild coastlines, keeping an eye out for polar bears, whales, and migrating birdlife.

Expedition Spotlight - The Greenlandic Sheep Wool Project
- Dec 2024
he Greenlandic Sheep Wool Project is the very first project in the Arctic sponsored by the Artisan Fund aboard the National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions fleet. Working with local educator and artisan, Ellen Frederiksen, whose husband is a descendent of Greenland’s first sheep farmer, this initiative provided critical equipment to help the people of Qassiarsuk process wool, train artisans, and create blankets, mittens, yarn and more to sell to both visitors and locals. In this episode of Expedition Spotlight, learn more about the storied sheep-farming settlement of Qassiarsuk and how the Artisan Fund is helping to empower and uplift this remote community.
