- Is this heaven on Earth? Disko Bay is one of the most stunningly jaw-dropping water bodies on the planet, brimming with towering icebergs, slushy waters, and more blue-hued icy views than you'd ever thought possible in this lifetime. This is without a doubt the top attraction in Greenland, and I was eager to get out on the water to explore Disko Bay and icy waters firsthand.
For my journey, I went with Disko Line Explorer (NOT sponsored!) and paid $105 USD or so for the 2.5 hour sightseeing cruise. I hadn't prepared myself for just how serene and stunning this journey actually is; I had expected a few dozen sedan-sized ice chunks floating in the otherwise flat but serene waters. Instead, we were thrust headfirst into a kingdom of ice as far as the eye can see, with many towering above the ship like skyscrapers - literally hundreds of feet tall.
Disko Bay is an incredible place, and you'd be wise to add this place to your bucket list before the rest of the world discovers that it exists. For now, it's the perfect place to get off the grid and enjoy some of the most beautiful sights you'll ever encounter on planet Earth.

Thank you for watching!!
I was born on Disko island, in the now abandoned coalmine city of Qullissat. 🙂
Amazing! Would love to check out Disko Island
@@DrifterDave You can search for "Qullissat" ..there are some great videos from there out there. Let me know if you need a guide, I'll be glad to help you out :-)
Sounds great! I'll let you know when I'm next back out that way
A little correction, it os about 1/8 or 1/9 of the iceberg you can see. And abou the sea with not ice, it was not just few decades ago that disco bay used to ice, bit due to the clobal warming, it rarelly do.
Thank you for the information 👍🇬🇱
I know this is your video, and i dont meant this disrespectfully
, i wish there was a few moments of silence/no talking just to enjoy the beauty
Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately the algorithm doesn't take kindly to silence in travel vlogs, but might be worth considering putting together a montage of the scenery against soft water sounds. Though, you could always mute the video if it helps! Thanks for your honesty, though. I hope you enjoyed the scenery nonetheless!
@@DrifterDaveoh i didnt know that! Thank you for taking the time to explain it.
No problem! Glad you enjoyed the scenery 😎
Which cruise did you go with?
I used Disko Bay Explorer for the sightseeing cruise around Disko Bay. They are pricey, but have a decent level of service. It was roughly $100 USD for the 90 minute trip.
which month of the year is this?
October 2022!
The back Ground Music is more southern ? Not viking like or northern
Yes, I use mainly alternative hip hop for my videos as it’s what rates best with my overall audience 👍
Where are you now? I wanna meet you so badly I'm in Ilulissat please let me just meet you once I got Wisdom teeth removal I've never met outside national CZcamsr except for Greenlandic Movie creators like Malik, Nuka, and Marc
Sorry, filming took place in late October 2022, so I’ve long since moved on back to Canada! These videos take a while to produce 😎 Next trip to Greenland will be Nuuk to Qaqortoq sometime in 2024 or 2025 👍
Qeqertarsuaq?
Never been!
