InternalNotes

Svalbard, Iceland and Greenland's East Coast

WEBVTT

1
00:00:06.949 --> 00:00:09.949
East Greenland is overwhelmingly beautiful

2
00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:13.270
and it has the most stunning landscape.

3
00:00:14.750 --> 00:00:17.159
Some of the world's largest icebergs,

4
00:00:18.139 --> 00:00:19.409
enormous mountains

5
00:00:20.569 --> 00:00:24.989
and you have the chance to see one of the most wild places in the Arctic.

6
00:00:25.959 --> 00:00:28.659
It's absolutely a gorgeous destination.

7
00:00:42.619 --> 00:00:45.240
I'm the captain of the National Geographic Resolution.

8
00:00:45.250 --> 00:00:49.020
We're in the Ice Belt around East Greenland, heading for Iceland.

9
00:00:49.389 --> 00:00:51.419
The beauty of combining Svalbard,

10
00:00:51.869 --> 00:00:52.909
Bear Island,

11
00:00:53.389 --> 00:00:53.430
Yan

12
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:53.659
Ma

13
00:00:53.930 --> 00:00:58.779
and East Greenland and Iceland is that you get to very different,

14
00:00:59.069 --> 00:01:01.139
very beautiful places in the Arctic.

15
00:01:01.319 --> 00:01:04.300
The East Greenland Ice Belt is essentially the

16
00:01:04.309 --> 00:01:07.059
last multi year old pack ice in the world

17
00:01:07.330 --> 00:01:10.190
that actually drifts down the East Greenland, the coast.

18
00:01:10.370 --> 00:01:12.019
So in order to get

19
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:16.790
to e screen and you have to punch through a lot of very heavy pack ice.

20
00:01:23.699 --> 00:01:27.559
The National Geographic Resolution is well, our sister ship the endurance.

21
00:01:27.569 --> 00:01:32.910
They are a very rare breed of ships because we have a very high, a rated polar class

22
00:01:33.129 --> 00:01:36.279
A rated means they can operate year round

23
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:40.180
in polar waters and they are really made for icebreaking.

24
00:01:41.059 --> 00:01:44.349
Another very outstanding feature of the ship. That's our ai

25
00:01:44.699 --> 00:01:45.099
pods

26
00:01:45.269 --> 00:01:50.720
which not only make the ship maneuverable, but also flush ice around the ship.

27
00:01:51.260 --> 00:01:54.690
With the traditional ship, you can basically just go back and forward

28
00:01:55.190 --> 00:01:58.709
in the pre broken channel. It's very hard to break out of a channel.

29
00:01:58.889 --> 00:02:01.379
Whereas with a potted ship, you can wash the ice

30
00:02:01.739 --> 00:02:05.150
and you can push the ship into the open basin

31
00:02:06.989 --> 00:02:10.809
going through any ice is always a lot of work for the bridge team

32
00:02:10.910 --> 00:02:12.600
to plan a good expedition.

33
00:02:12.699 --> 00:02:16.169
You have to take the weather and the ice conditions into account.

34
00:02:16.220 --> 00:02:17.830
Where will the ice drift to?

35
00:02:17.839 --> 00:02:21.529
What can we expect tomorrow in this area we are heading into? And

36
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:26.050
so in order to make it a good expedition, we have to adapt.

37
00:02:26.690 --> 00:02:28.759
We have an open bridge policy with Lindblad.

38
00:02:28.789 --> 00:02:32.529
I think it's highly beneficial to guest experience because they can

39
00:02:32.539 --> 00:02:35.770
see what we're doing and how we're navigating in ice.

40
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:39.149
Everybody can see behind the scenes. There's nothing to hide.

41
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:43.539
So everybody always knows which decisions we take and why we take them

42
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:45.449
Scorpio.

43
00:02:46.190 --> 00:02:48.460
It's the longest fjord in the world.

44
00:02:49.070 --> 00:02:52.089
It had some of the highest icebergs I've ever seen

45
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:57.070
yesterday. We've seen an iceberg that was not far from probably 100 m tall

46
00:02:57.229 --> 00:03:00.979
and that coastline is all very wild. Hundreds of seals.

47
00:03:00.990 --> 00:03:03.389
I've always seen one or two polar bears.

48
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.410
It's one of the most impressive Arctic landscapes.

49
00:03:07.669 --> 00:03:10.199
It's very challenging to get to, to east green.

50
00:03:10.600 --> 00:03:14.020
But once you get to the coast, it's very rewarding
