After a quick traverse of King Oskar’s Fjord we head north west towards the Ammassalik Fjord. After about an hour of sailing we will turn into the narrow and steep Fjord with its jagged and imposing mountain peaks towering above us. At the site of Ikateq, we will make a stop to explore the remains of a World War II American Base. You can still see the Airfield, the corroded oil drums, vehicles and ruins. We will then continue our journey further north-east until we arrive at the mighty Sermiligaaq Fjord. The name means 'the beautiful Glacier Fjord' and it lives up to its name. The landscape around us is now dominated by jagged mountains, narrow Fjords and calving outlet Glaciers with their fronts flowing into the Fjord itself. At one point you will enjoy the view of two calving Glaciers simultaneously, the Karale Glacier on your left and the Knud Rasmussen Glacier on your right side.
