Iceland & East Greenland: Under the Northern Lights 2027


I am pleased to announce that I will be the guest photographer on Aurora Expeditions Iceland & East Greenland voyage in September 2027.

This one-of-a-kind voyage of discovery takes us into the vast landscapes of Eastern Greenland and Iceland’s Westfjords. East Greenland
contains some of the Arctic's most impressive scenery. Deep fjords and narrow channels, flanked by sharp ice-clad peaks up to 2,000 m high.
Gigantic icebergs calved from glaciers drift throughout the fjord system creating breathtaking scenery.

We aim to visit Scoresby Sund, the largest fjord system in the world, and Kong Oskar and Kaiser Franz Josef fjords, two of the most significant fjord
systems in Greenland, where glaciers offload icebergs the size of small cities into deep fjords. As night falls, we will be on the lookout for the ethereal
dance of the Northern Lights. A highlight is a visit to the Inuit village of Ittoqqortoormiit, the most isolated and northernmost permanent settlement in
the region, with approximately 500 inhabitants, an excellent museum, gift shop, and an abundance of Greenlandic sled dogs..   

‍We will be sailing on the Douglas Mawson, the newest of Aurora’s three beautifully appointed ships. This small, purpose-built ship features the Ulstein
X-BOW® design, that cuts through the swell for a smoother transit through waves while minimising its environmental impact.
