Hear about a cruise to Greenland as the Amateur Traveler talks to Rebecca Merrell from manopause.com about this rugged and rapidly changing country. https://amateurtraveler.com/cruise-to-greenland/ Why should someone do a cruise to Greenland? Rebecca succinctly says, “Someone should do a cruise to Greenland if they're looking to go somewhere remote without a lot of people and if they have an interest in the Arctic.” The cruise itinerary is: Day 1: Departure from Iceland Travelers fly from Iceland or Denmark to Greenland. Arriving in Greenland, travelers land at Kingirlasuak, a former U.S. base that now serves as a large airport in Greenland. Embarkation on the “Ocean Albatross,” the cruise ship operated by Albatross Expeditions. Day 2: Sisimiut The cruise reaches its first destination, Sisimiut, the second-largest city in Greenland after Nuuk (the capital). Sisimiut, which means “foxhole,” has a rich history dating back thousands of years, including various indigenous cultures and traditions. Travelers have the opportunity to explore the town, its colorful buildings, and visit local museums showcasing Greenlandic history and culture. Day 3: Qeqertarsuaq, Disko Island The cruise continues to Qeqertarsuaq, a former capital of North Greenland located on Disko Island. Travelers have the chance to explore this picturesque town, famous for its abundance of icebergs in Disco Bay.  Day 4: Uummannaq The cruise heads further north, reaching Uummannaq, north of the Arctic Circle. Uummannaq Island is known for its heart-shaped mountain and offers unique cultural experiences. Activities include hiking to the Santa Claus house. Day 5: Eqip Sermia Glacier The ship sails to the Eqip Sermia Glacier (“The Glacier at the end of the fjord”), a breathtaking location known for its massive ice formations. Travelers witness the natural spectacle of ice calving, where chunks of ice break off and plunge into the sea. The changing hues of blue in the ice, caused by varying oxygen levels, create stunning visual displays. Day 6: Ilulissat The cruise arrives at Ilulissat, the third-largest town in Greenland. Ilulissat is known as ‘the Iceberg Capital of the World'. The town is famous for its UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Ilulissat Icefjord, where enormous icebergs calve from the Sermeq Kujalleq Glacier at an astonishing rate (100 feet per day or 20 million tons of icebergs). Travelers have the option to explore the icefjord by small boat and marvel at the towering ice formations. Day 7: Sarfannguit The cruise reaches Sarfannguit (“the place with the little stream:), a very small settlement with approximately 40 residents. Travelers visit the community center, where they can purchase local crafts, such as beadwork, paintings, and other products. The unique monument, a modern glass igloo, is also worth a visit. Day 8: Return to Kangerlussuaq The cruise returns to Kangerlussuaq, the point of embarkation, where travelers disembark. This marks the end of the expedition. Throughout the cruise, travelers have the opportunity to hear lectures on Arctic topics, hike, museum visits, and interact with local communities. The stunning Arctic landscapes, icebergs, glaciers, and wildlife, including birds and marine mammals, provide a constant backdrop to this unforgettable Greenlandic adventure.

Seit mehreren tausend Jahren leben Menschen in der scheinbar unwirtlichen Natur Grönlands. Woher kamen sie und warum wird in Grönland neben Grönländisch auch Dänisch gesprochen? Begleite uns auf unserem Trekkingabenteuer am Arctic Circle Trail in die grüne Wildnis Grönlands, von Sisimiut nach Kangerlussuaq. - Episodenbild: Am südlichen Arctic Circle Trail, Fotoarchiv B.

Mere end 280 milliarder tons is smelter hvert år fra indlandsisen. Og en stor del af forklaringen skal måske findes i den allermørkeste is. Den sorte is gemmer nemlig på et mikroskopisk liv, der er altafgørende for indlandsisens fremtid. I dagens program kan du tage med til området Kangerlussuaq i det sydvestlige Grønland, hvor vi ser nærmere på de mikroorganismer, der bor i isen og de hemmeligheder, de afslører om fremtidens klimaudfordringer. Derudover skal vi se nærmere på en sort alge, som volder problemer for forskerne - den gør nemlig, at isen smelter endnu hurtigere. Og så skal vi høre, hvordan de grønlandske fangere tilpasser sig de voldsomme forandringer i deres omgivelser.

These include but are not limited to enhanced cleaning routines, contactless payment, and self-declaration forms, efforts that have earned the islands the approval of the World Travel & Tourism Council.Margaritaville Sets Sail with Margaritaville at SeaMargaritaville announces Margaritaville at Sea, an offshore resort experience. The first cruise ship, Margaritaville Paradise, will offer the fun, escapism, and state of mind synonymous with the global lifestyle brand.Departing on her first passenger sailing on April 30 from the Port of Palm Beach Florida to Grand Bahama Island, Margaritaville Paradise will include 10 passenger decks and 658 cabins in various stateroom categories.

The SOFC will reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) by about a further 30 percent compared with a conventional LNG engine without producing emissions of nitrogen oxides, sulphur oxides or fine particles.  It also offers the advantage of being compatible with LNG, as well as several low carbon fuels such as types of methanol, ammonia and hydrogen. This project will form the building block for future larger installations and the beginning of an even closer collaboration between MSC Cruises and Chantier de L'Atlantique on R&D of fuel cell technology.The traditional coin ceremony tradition took place as the keel was laid for MSC Cruises' second LNG-powered ship, MSC Euribia, which will be one of the most environmentally high performing contemporary vessels built in France. Anne Claire Juventin Responsible for Quality Control from the Chantiers de l'Atlantique, and Valentina Mancini, Brand Manager from MSC Cruises performed the traditional maritime ritual as godmothers representing the ship owner and the shipbuilder when they placed two coins under the keel as the historical sign of blessing and good fortune for the project, and the ship's operational life at sea.The float out of MSC World Europa, which will be the first LNG-powered vessel to join the MSC Cruises fleet took place at the shipyard in Saint-Nazaire where she will now be moved to a wet dock for work to continue on the ship until her delivery in November 2022.NCL Homeports in Panama City Norwegian Cruise Line, will become the first cruise line to homeport in Panama City, Panama, offering roundtrip Panama Canal voyages beginning 20 March 2022 with Norwegian Jewel.NCLK (Parent company of NCL) signed a multi-year agreement with the Panama Tourism Authority which allows the Company to seasonally homeport at the Colon Cruise Terminal as well as at Fuerte Amador Cruise Terminal located on the Pacific Ocean side of the country and adjacent to Panama City.In 2022 and 2023 the Company will offer 12 homeport voyages starting with Norwegian Jewel on 20 March 2022 where she will sail a nine-day itinerary traversing the Panama Canal and visiting incredible destinations including Puerto Limon, Costa Rica; Oranjestad, Aruba; Willemstad, Curaçao; Kralendijk, Bonaire and Cartagena, Colombia before arriving to the Caribbean side of Panama in the city of Colon.Starting 14 January 2023, Norwegian Gem will also feature select Panama Canal voyages including an 11-day journey visiting seven ports of call, including Puerto Limon, Costa Rica; Oranjestad, Aruba; Willemstad, Curaçao; Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic and Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos Islands before ending in New York City.

Fil de Science, c'est la nouvelle formule de notre podcast d'actualité, lancé en 2006 ! Chaque vendredi dès 18h30, découvrez le résumé des actualités scientifiques de la semaine, décryptées pour vous par les journalistes de Futura. Pour cette semaine du 16 novembre, nous parlerons des vaccins Moderna et Pfizer, qui ont fait couler beaucoup d'encre ces derniers jours. Nous aborderons également le sort du radiotélescope d'Arecibo et celui des glaciers groenlandais, le tout parsemé de neurones, d'étoiles et d'un classement pour le moins insolite. Bonne écoute, et bon week-end !Retrouvez les articles complets sur FuturaCovid-19 : l'efficacité du vaccin de Pfizer est finalement de 95 %Moderna annonce un vaccin efficace à plus de 94,5 % contre le coronavirus !Pourquoi le vaccin de Pfizer n'aurait finalement pas besoin d'être stocké à -70 °CLe radiotélescope d'Arecibo va être démontéLe cerveau humain ressemble étrangement à l'UniversGroenland : les grands glaciers fondent beaucoup plus vite que les chercheurs le pensaientEt les pires mots de passe de l'année 2020 sont…Transcription du podcast :Bonjour à tous, bienvenue dans Fil de Science, le podcast Futura où nous retraçons l'actualité de la semaine.Cette semaine, un nouveau pas a été accompli dans la lutte contre la pandémie de coronavirus. Mercredi dernier, les laboratoires Pfizer et BioNTech annonçaient la conclusion de la phase III pour leur vaccin, affichant un taux d'efficacité de 95%. Ils ont rapidement été suivis par les laboratoires Moderna, avec un candidat efficace à plus de 94,5%. Petit avantage pour l'instant pour le vaccin Moderna, qui pourrait être aisément stocké à des températures allant de 2 à 8°C, tandis que Pfizer annonce pour le moment une température de stockage bien plus contraignante de -70°C. Une précaution superflue selon certains experts, qui devra être évaluée plus en détails afin d'éviter toute erreur potentiellement fatale.Mauvaise nouvelle pour Arecibo. Le légendaire radiotélescope complété en 1963 devra malheureusement être détruit après des décennies de bons et loyaux services. La rupture d'un câble de soutien en août dernier, suivi d'un autre au début du mois de novembre a rendu la structure trop instable pour envisager des réparations, contraignant les ingénieurs à sceller le sort de ce site iconique. Merci Arecibo pour 57 ans de découvertes !Drôle d'univers que le cerveau ! Les chercheurs ont récemment mis en parallèle les architectures neuronales et cosmiques pour révéler d'étonnantes similitudes. En dépit des ordres de grandeur qui séparent les deux structures, ils ont observé des recoupements frappants dans les fluctuations de matière qui les caractérisent. Fort heureusement, à notre connaissance, notre cerveau n'est ni en train de se réchauffer, ni en expansion.Au Groenland, c'est une mauvaise surprise qui attend les scientifiques. Si les modèles précédents suggéraient déjà une fonte massive des glaciers dans la région, les chercheurs soulignent que ceux-ci pourraient néanmoins se situer encore bien en-deçà de la réalité. Depuis la fin du XIXe siècle, l'étiolement des glaciers Djacobshaven, Helheim et Kangerlussuaq a d'ores et déjà contribué à lui seul à une élévation du niveau de la mer de 8,1 millimètres.Et pour finir sur une note légère, le palmarès des pires mots de passe de l'année 2020 a récemment été publié par la société Nordpass. En tête du classement, la série 123456, partagée par plus de 2 millions et demi d'utilisateurs, souligne clairement la nécessité pour les internautes d'apprendre à mieux protéger leurs données, même si les habitudes sur le web semblent progressivement s'améliorer. Le top 10 des mots de passe et le reste de nos actualités sont à découvrir sur Futura, bien entendu.Pour ne rien manquer de l'actualité scientifique, rendez-vous sur les plateformes de diffusion pour vous abonner à Fil de Science et à nos autres podcasts.

Bastian Pars Kleffel fra Nuuk Internationale Friskole har interviewet lederen af Visit Greenland, Julia Pars, om hvad klimaforandringerne og forureningen gør ved Grønland og hele vores verden. Julia Pars fortæller, at hun har være projektleder på ishotellet i Kangerlussuaq, det bestod af små iglo-lignende is-hytter. Man kunne bo i ishotellet fra november, men nu er vejret blevet så varmt, at det ikke længere er koldt nok til at lave et ishotel. Hun fortæller også om, hvordan isen omkring Grønland bliver tyndere på grund af klimaforandringerne. Da Bastian spørger, siger Julia Pars, at vi hver især kan gøre lidt for at rette op på klimaet. For eksempel har hun købt nogle bæreposer, der kan bruges flere gange, så hun kan spare plastikposerne. Julia Pars forudser, at hvis vi bliver ved med at bruge så meget plastik, der havner i havene, hvor fiskene spiser det, så vil havene blive så forurenede, at vi ikke længere har nok at leve af.  

Als je de gevolgen van klimaatverandering wilt zien moet je op Groenland zijn. Door de stijgende temperaturen smelt de ijskap en met al dat water stijgt de zeespiegel. Wat zijn de effecten voor de bewoners van Groenland? En waarom is de president van de Verenigde Staten ineens in Groenland geïnteresseerd?

Tvillingerne Stella og Francisca Davidsen Olsen er 21 år og hundeslædekuske i Kangerlussuaq. Moderne piger i et ældgammelt grønlandsk erhverv. Hele deres barndom har været præget af farens hunde, af udflugterne med hundeslæde og kærligheden til hundene, og den måde man arbejder med de grønlandske hunde. Derfor valgte de tidligt at satse på hundeslæden, og det er det, denne episode af Grønlandske Livshistorier handler om.  I vinterperioden fungerer Francisca og Stella som en del af områdets hundeslædekorps med daglige ture med turister, som gerne vil se landskaberne omkring Kangerlussuaq fra en slæde. Det er naturoplevelser i byen, hvor solen skinner 300 dage om året. Om sommeren passer de to deres 19 hunde i hundebyen, som ligger en kilometer udenfor Kangerlussuaq. Det interessante er, fortæller Stella og Francisca, at finde og bruge hundenes temperamenter og styrker og udvikle deres samarbejdsevner. Det kræver meget arbejde, en del udstyr og adgang til sund mad og træning at have 19 hunde. Det gør, at tvillingerne må supplere indtægterne med sommerjob. Francisca er blevet del af det nye parkranger-hold bag Aasivissuit-Nipisat, som Unesco har udnævnt til at være et kulturarvs-område. Området er lidt større end Fyn og ligger mellem Kangerlussuaq og Sisimiut.  Stella drømmer om måske engang at blive en del af Siriuspatruljen.

Han er lige fyldt 20 år, opvokset i Nuuk, men valgte gymnasiet i Sisimiut. Lige nu er Benjamin Chemnitz Frederiksen rejefisker, men han vil nok læse geologi senere. Han sammenligner sit elskede Grønland med en teenager, der ikke helt ved, hvad han/hun vil. Benjamin Chemnitz Frederiksen har sejlet, siden han var barn, og han har med egne øjne set, hvad klimaforandringerne betyder for Grønland – blandt andet at flere havne ikke længere fryser til, og at havisen forsvinder. Det betyder, at man mange steder ikke længere kan køre med hundeslæde hen over havisen om vinteren. I denne podcast-episode giver han udtryk for markante holdninger til det Grønland, han kender, og det Grønland han ønsker for fremtiden – en ting er helt sikkert: Han vil bo i Grønland og have børn, der skal vokse op i Grønland. I podcast-episoden fortæller Benjamin, også kaldet Biinia, der er det grønlandske kælenavn for Benjamin, at han havde lyst til forandring, da han havde været et år på efterskole i Danmark. I stedet for at blive boende hos sine forældre i Nuuk og gå i gymnasiet der, valgte han gymnasiet i Sisimiut, GUX Sisimiut. Han har arbejdet som guide og sejlet med krydstogtskibene fra syd til nord og omvendt, men i december påmønstrede han en rejetrawler. Her arbejder han to måneder om bord: otte timers arbejde, otte timer fri – hver dag døgnet rundt, inden han kan holde to måneders fri på land. Han fortæller, at det er hårdt arbejde. Rejsefiskeri er på akkord. Der er ikke tid til at ømme sig, hvis man slår sig – og man skal passe på. Det er et job, hvor mange har mistet en finger eller to – og nogle har mistet livet. Men Benjamin regner med at blive ved i to-tre år, inden han går i gang med en uddannelse. Sandsynligvis vil han læse geologi på Københavns Universitet. Et er i hvert fald sikkert: Han vil vælge en uddannelse og et job, hvor han kan være ude en del af tiden. Han har selv rejst meget både i Grønland og uden for. Han ville ønske, at hans landsmænd ville rejse mere rundt i Grønland for at se, hvor forskelligt livet er i Nord-, Syd- og Østgrønland fra livet i Grønlands to største byer: Nuuk og Sisimiut, der begge ligger på Vestkysten. Som han ser det, rejser de fleste grønlændere rundt i deres egen del af Grønland, og så en tur til Nuuk for at besøge familie og til Kangerlussuaq for at tage flyet til Danmark derfra. Han mener, man skal kende hele sit land – ikke kun dele af det.      

Pipaluk Andersen går i 1. Z på GUX Sisimiut. Hun har lavet en Podcast-episode til Grønlandske Livshistorier – fortalt af unge om videregående uddannelse. For at belyse emnet har Pipaluk interviewet to kammerater. Den ene er Rea Blytmann, 17 år, som fortæller, at hun slet ikke har besluttet sig for hvad hun vil efter gymnasiet. Et ved hun, hun vil ikke fortsætte i supermarkedet, hvor hun har fritidsjob. Pipaluk har også interviewet Niels Rasmussen. Han er ved at uddanne sig som tømrer i Nuuk netop nu, og han drømmer om de mange muligheder, som det kan give, ligesom han måske også vil realisere sin drøm om at blive kok. "Jeg lader livet og mulighederne komme til mig, i stedet for at vælge selv," siger Niels. Niels Rasmussen bliver interviewet over Skype. ”Grønlandske Livshistorier - fortalt af unge” er et projekt, som er udtænkt og skabt af journalisterne Iben Danielsen og Annelise Mølvig. Ideen opstod, fordi Grønland i år markerer 40-året for hjemmestyret og ti-året for selvstyret. Det handler om identitet og kommunikation. Der er historier, som må fortælles, fordi de er unikke, sjove, vigtige i hverdagen eller årsag til en livsændring eller en skelsættende begivenhed. Sådanne historier sætter perspektiv på det levede liv og livsvalgene. Også for unge mennesker. Disse podcast-episoder er udviklet, produceret og fortalt af unge, og de er resultatet af et kursus i fortælling og en introduktion til podcast-mediet. Inden en historie skal fortælles, er det godt at få struktur på den og få opmærksomhed på det unikke i den. I forløbet har vi diskuteret med eleverne, hvad der er en god historie, og hvordan man vinkler og vælger. Vi har talt temaer og sansernes brug, når man arbejder med det auditive medie, podcast. De er blevet præsenteret for redskaber til at genkalde oplevelsen i flere dimensioner, i farver og med lyde. Eleverne har arbejdet med deres egne livshistorier, eller såkaldte livstykker, og så har de fået inspiration og coaching til at finde en person eller flere, som kunne perspektivere det til deres personlige podcast-episode. Eleverne har lavet deres podcast-episoder alene med mobiltelefon, og disse optagelser, både interviews og baggrundslyde, er siden blevet bearbejdet i Hindenburg, som er podcastens redigeringssystem. Det er et nemt og intuitivt redskab. Eleverne har først lavet et klippemanus, hvorefter de er gået i gang med at redigere udsendelsen, fundet podsafe musik og lagt deres lydeffekter på. Derefter har de lagt intro- og outro-speak på samt skrevet tekster til podcast-episoderne på hjemmesiden. Forløbet afsluttes med, at udsendelserne offentliggøres på hjemmesiden www.groenlandske-livshistorier.dk og www.groenlandske-livshistorier.gl, samt at de kan findes på alle kendte podcast-tjenester. Vi er Annelise Mølvig og Iben Danielsen, to journalister med erfaring indenfor skrive- og erindringskurser og med stor interesse for den talte fortælling. Vi er begge erfarne undervisere. Vi har foreløbig rejst i Kangerlussuaq, Nuuk og Sisimiut. Vores plan er at fortsætte Grønlandske Livshistorier og samle podcastepisoder og fortællinger ind fra andre dele af Grønland. Projektet er støttet af NunaFonden, og det er vi meget taknemmelige for. Hvis du kender en som har en god personlig historie, som kan sætte perspektiv på Grønland i dag, så hører vi rigtig gerne fra dig. Hvis du kender en skole eller et gymnasium, som gerne vil have besøg for at gennemføre et lignende projekt, så hører vi også gerne fra dig. Skriv til aluu@groenlandske-livshistorier.dk  

Et helt almindeligt hverdagsliv i Nuuk med otte til fire job, børn og kaffetræf. Sådan betegner Winnie Harder Evaldsen sin hverdag. Da hun var 24 fik hun kræft og rejste gennem flere år hver tredje måned til København for at blive behandlet. Winnie Harder Evaldsen er ansat som aviskoordinator i Brugseni – den grønlandske afdeling af Coop. Hun har ansvaret for Brugsenis tilbudsaviser. Der er en tilbudsavis til de større byer, hvor Brugseni er så stor, at der er plads til at have en slagterafdeling. Her er samme slags medister, kalvekoteletter og hakket fars som i enhver dansk Coop-butik. Men i tilbudsaviserne til de mindre byer og bygder er der kun frossen kød, fordi de ikke har egen slagter. Selv om de fleste varer er de samme som i en dansk Coop-butik, så har Brugseni sit helt eget grønlandske islæt. Der kan være tørrede amasetter, tørret torsk, rensdyrkød og skibskiks på forsiden. Når Winnie får fri fra sin arbejdsplads, der ligger midt i Nuuk, går hun fra kontoret og hjem til sit hus. Afstanden er ikke så stor. Hjemme har hun ansvaret for sine to drenge. Drengen på fire går i børnehave, og drengen på otte går i skole. De tager i svømmehal, ser YouTube og meget andet. - Vores hverdag ligner meget en dansk hverdag, siger Winnie, men tilføjer: - Forskellen er, at mine børn ved, hvad sortebær er, og at man godt kan spise sæl, selv om den ser sød ud. Lige da Winnie havde fået sin første dreng, fik hun konstateret modermærkekræft på anklen. Hun blev undersøgt på Dronning Ingrids Hospital i Nuuk, men fluks sendt til København for at blive opereret. Da det var godt overstået, måtte hun til kontrol på Rigshospitalet hver tredje måned. Hver gang betød det først en times flyvetur til Kangerlussuaq, dernæst fire en halv time med fly til København. Her kunne hun bo på Det Grønlandske Patienthjem. Besøget hos lægen tog mellem et kvarter og en halv time, men selve rejsen tog tre dage. Oftest brugte hun sine fridage på turen. Efter to et halvt år kunne hun nøjes med en tur hver halve år, og efter fem år blev hun erklæret helt rask og har ikke været til kontrol de seneste tre år. Da Winnie var 16 år forlod hun Nuuk for at blive udvekslingsstudent hos en katolsk familie langt ude på landet i Canada, og hun har stadig kontakt med familien. Hun sluttede sit ophold med at tage en canadisk studentereksamen. Derefter rejste hun tilbage til Nuuk for at arbejde, men hurtigt gik turen til byen Marstal på øen Ærø, hvor hun arbejdede på hotel. Senere tog hun en uddannelse som grafiker på Syddansk Erhvervsskole og rejste derefter tilbage til Nuuk. Her kunne hun ikke få arbejde som grafiker, men arbejdede i stedet i en butik, i et køkken og på et advokatkontor som advokatsekretær, inden hun for tre et halvt år siden fik jobbet som aviskoordinator for Brugsenis tilbudsaviser.  

Wir waren mit der Fram von Hurtigruten 16 Tage lang unterwegs von Kangerlussuaq in Grönland bis nach Halifax in Kanada. Im Podcast sprechen wir über diese Reise im Herbst 2018, das Schiff und die Erlebnisse unterwegs. Beeindruckende Natur, Eisberge, stürmische Nordatlantik und intensive Herbstlaub-Farben, gastfreundliche Inuit, eigenwillige Newfun'lander und Franzosen weitab von Europa, die Geschichte von Wikingern und baskischen Walfängern - die Entdecker-Reise auf der Fram war abwechslungsreich und spannend. In dieser Podcast-Episode sprechen wir sowohl über die Faszination der Reiseroute, als auch über Hurtigruten und speziell das Expeditionsschiff Fram und ihre Besonderheiten, wie etwa das sehr feine Essen. Und wir stellen die Umwelt-Features der Fram vor, die nicht nur bei der Vermeidung von Plastik-Müll ganz weit vorne ist.
