In the summer most locals use boats to get around, it is pretty easy for tourists to get around this way as well. The only way to see Scoresby Sund is by boat as there are no roads in this very remote area. The fjord system is the largest in the world and is of breathtaking beauty. The area is untouched and is home to some of the world's largest icebergs. Due to the remote nature and the sea ice conditions, only a handful of private yachts make it here every year. Secret Atlas is one of the few operators that offer week-long sailing expeditions and photography tours departing from Ittoqqortoormiit. The price is expensive but well worth it.
