This hot spring has been cherished for centuries, with a notable tale about Leif Erikson who, a thousand years ago, took a refreshing swim before embarking on his journey towards uncharted lands to the west.Unlike volcanic hot springs, this oasis gets its warmth from geothermal subsoil. As the soil layers rub against each other in the spring, the water is heated, reaching temperatures of around 38 degrees Celsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit).Day 8: HvalseyImmerse Yourself in Viking ArchaeologyWalk amongst the ruins of captivating history!Learn more about the settlement at haunting Hvalsey, a major Norse centre in the early centuries of the last millennium.Hvalsey Church is the best-preserved Norse ruin in Greenland—the last known record from the original Norse colony is of a wedding held here in September 1408!Day 9: BrattahlíðTour a Reconstructed Norse SettlementVisit fascinating Brattahlíð, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the most fertile region of Greenland.

The waters here are relatively warm, due to the West Greenland Current and the subarctic location.Day 13: Kangerlussuaq, GreenlandCross the Arctic CircleComplete your journey up Kangerlussuaq Fjord (Søndre Strømfjord), a 190-kilometre-long fjord surrounded by mountains and glaciers, and cross the Arctic Circle on your way.
