Arrive in the untouched and remote part of Greenland as you reach the Eastern Coast and the island of Skjoldungen. Situated at 63° N, the island is surrounded by narrow, steep fjords and glaciers, and with plenty of the cool, crisp, and clean air of the ever-present and nearby ice sheet. Acclaimed Norwegian explorer Fridjof Nansen came here in the late summer of 1888 in search of a suitable ascension point for the first inland ice crossing. Up to 100 people lived here in this region around 1975, and you can still see the remains of settlements in this region.
