Day 6 Jan Mayen Island
This is an isolated volcanic island set in the North Atlantic Ocean, halfway between Iceland and Spitsbergen. The rough, and inhospitable landscape is a perfect demonstration of the true nature.

The vegetation is barely to be seen, with only a few mosses, grasses and a scattering of flowering plants. Yet for all its ruggedness and unpredictable climate, there is a wild beauty to the island. On the beaches there are the old bleached bones of whales and the remains of the whaling stations. The rocky cliffs are home to different wildlife.

The most unique part of the island is the black sand, weathered from volcanic basalt and the colours. You can take a zodiac cruising and get a touch of the sand.

Day 7 At Sea

Scoresbysund: The world's largest fjord, a prime hunting spot for local Inuit, features colossal glaciers and hundreds of icebergs. In summer, the tundra thrives with moss, lichen, and dwarf shrubs, drawing Arctic wildlife like foxes, reindeer, and musk-oxen.
