Boat tour to Uunartoq Hot Springs, Tynwald

Hot springs normally come from volcanic activity, but here in Greenland, the springs are so deep that the heat comes from under the earth's mantle. Relaxing in these very special pools comes complete with a view towards the icebergs floating in the fjord beside you. Begin with a scenic boat ride (about 90 minutes each way) across Qaqortoq's fjord to the small island of Uunartoq. This lovely spot's first mention in historical accounts dates back to AD 1340, and it is the only place in Greenland that has hot springs to bathe in. Step ashore and follow a narrow path for 10 minutes as you walk to the springs. Immerse yourself in pure joy as you listen to the Arctic silence surrounding the hot pools before you return to Qaqortoq.
