East Greenland Northern Lights

Photograph the mythical Scoresby Sund, the largest fjord system in the world, its labyrinthine pathways strewn with cathedral-size icebergs. Encounter the local wildlife, including musk ox, Arctic foxes, Arctic hares, and maybe even (though they are rare here) polar bears and narwhals.
But keep your eyes on the skies and listen for the knock on your cabin door at night. The northern lights are the ultimate East Greenland sight at this time of year. Capturing them on camera is the goal of photographers great and small.
This voyage takes place during the latter half of September, at the optimum time for encountering the Scoresbysund northern lights.
