Jøkelfjord Glacier
Let us introduce you to the heart of Kvænangen alps, the amazing Jøkelfjord glacier- The only glacier in Europe that calves into the ocean.
In our open and steady boat, we will set course towards the majestic Kvenangen Alps by crossing the fjord of Kvenangen.
Our final destination is the unique Jøkelfjord glacier, a remnant of the last Ice Age.
Once we arrive at the inner part of Jøkelfjord, we will take a break in front of the glacier. At this stop, we might be lucky enough to view an incredible experience; a glacier calving! For a glacier to calve means that the main glacier will slough off a part of itself into the ocean. During the spring, glacier calving is at its most active, resulting in floating glacier parts in the fjord. It’s a fascinating sight!
Around here, there is a vast amount of wildlife, so there is a good chance of seeing some of the species Norway is known for hosting, such as whales, dolphins, eagles, and puffins.
Our local guide will make sure this cruise trip is high quality and safe, so you feel taken care of and catered to. We look forward to being your host!
