We went aboard a cruise ship navigating some of the world’s most dangerous waters. In the Arctic, drifting icebergs, sea ice, sudden storms, and fierce winds make sailing unpredictable. Yet every year, around 100,000 cruise passengers travel to Greenland to explore its remote coastline and experience one of the world’s last great wildernesses.

Damn the Uummannaq mountain looks magnificent.
Beautiful
Sounds like an ad / commercial for the cruise line haha And tbh.. doomsday tourism is a thing. So I’m sure there will be customers
Clowns. I Hope others miss real science… so sad
Good video. I would rather take a Piper Cub with skis though.
I think the captain’s statement at 12:46 is blatantly selfish.
Titanic
Had to get the gay flags in. 😂
just a suggestion…. but a recon drone would help them a lot in navigating those icebergs. just saying……………….
I’ve said it many times but unfortunately having a narrator with a speech impediment is just objectively a bad idea. Can’t get through any videos with this narrator. Nothing against her, but if you are in a wheelchair you shouldn’t become a sprinter
I think Greenland should welcome the cruise ships. And tax them. Make a journey cost 100.000 USD for 2 weeks and use the money to improve conditions for Greenland’s people.
Cruise ships are hated everywhere on the planet, as they do nothing for the local economy, pollute the environment and with mass tourism destroy the places they invade.
Business insider: how much did you get paid for this advertisement, and aren´t you supposed to mark the video as sponsored?
aw these poor people have a problem with global warming😢 I doubt anyone sees this because it’ll get deleted😢
I dont thnk this place should be visited by cruise ships..
