Umivik Bay

Greenland

Umivik Bay lies on the southeast coast of Greenland, in the Ammassalik region. A remote anchorage where early expeditions overwintered, it is framed by the mountains and glaciers of the Blosseville Coast. Expedition ships visit the bay for its dramatic Arctic scenery — glaciers descending to the sea, sheer peaks, drifting icebergs, remains of old expedition sites, and the wilderness of Greenland's little-visited eastern shore.
