15-22 August 2025
Wildlife was surprisingly sparse - for two reasons. First, Greenland is a harsh environment and does not support a lot of animals. Second, it was near the end of summer and most birds were starting to migrate to their winter home.

18 August
 |
| We saw three ptarmigans on a walk. |
 |
| The three ptarmigans above can be found in this photo. They are well-camouflaged. Can you find them? |
 |
| Answer key for the previous photo. It's amazing that a relatively large bird can be so hidden in plain sight. |
20 August
 |
| We saw an arctic fox at least twice on the trip, but I never managed to get a good photo. This one is courtesy of our guide, Alex. There was also a fox at Base Camp that was sometimes seen in the early morning. |
19 August
 |
| Seagull and minke whale in Sermilik Fjord. We saw a minke on two different days. On this day we watched for nearly an hour as the whale feasted on fish in the fjord. |
