PONANT designs a polar trek through the immense icy expanses of the Far North<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n

PONANT aspires to create ever more immersive, exclusive and meaningful experiences. After reaching the North Pole accompanied by scientists, the company is now continuing its exploration with the aim of offering ever more exceptional moments in the worlds of the poles. At the end of last spring, PONANT\u2019s teams set out for the shores of the northeast coast of Greenland, which are still frozen over at that time of year. Their mission: to travel to meet the local Inuit populations<\/a> and take on the challenge of the unique adventure of a polar trek.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Scouting in cooperation with the local populations<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Getting out on the ground to meet local populations, accompanied by local guides, in order to test new itineraries<\/strong>, verify everything is safe, try out the experiences devised by the teams, and evaluate the physical and mental commitment required, is an essential step to carry out\u00a0 before inviting cruise guests to become active participants in their voyage. The objective: to leave the ship for a two-night polar trek in northeast Greenland <\/strong>in the company of Ole, an Inuit guide<\/strong><\/a>. <\/strong>This unique expedition was led by Nicolas Dubreuil, Operations Director at SEDNA and Polar expedition expert.<\/p>\n

The adventure begins on board: first introductions and awareness raising<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s Monday 23 May 2022, and the lucky chosen ones cross the gangway of the Le Commandant Charcot<\/em><\/a>. The group is made up of PONANT<\/strong> employees with a highly diverse range of backgrounds, all in good physical condition and adept at hiking, and is accompanied by experienced guides who are specialists in Inuit communities<\/strong> and high mountains<\/strong>. Amongst them Ole, a Greenlander from Kullorsuaq who is both an expert in the ice cap and a medical doctor. The mood is calm and relaxed. In the faces, plenty of expectations and uncertainty. A little worry and apprehension too, naturally. And excitement, an enormous amount! The excitement of both being together and, of course, being just a few days from living a unique experience. This presents an opportunity for everyone to get to know each other: special moments for creating a team spirit<\/strong> and bringing the group together.<\/p>\n

Almost as soon as everyone is on board, the adventure begins. Around the map up on the bridge \u2013 the ship\u2019s nerve centre \u2013 the captain shares his thoughts about determining the possible disembarkation and exploration sites<\/strong>. \u201cWe\u2019re aiming for a site at the foot of a glacier in King Christian IX Land,\u201d <\/em>\u00a0explains Captain \u00c9tienne Garcia. Things are getting very real! And even more so when, towards the end of the day, the ship encounters its first ice. \u201cWe are venturing into the unknown, into exploration,\u201d <\/em>enthuses Beno\u00eet Carassou-Maillan. It\u2019s now a question of coping with the vagaries inherent to the polar regions<\/strong>, of adapting, going around and circumventing to find the right ice floe. And it\u2019s time for Ole to remind the crew of an ancient Inuit proverb: \u201cThe only masters are the ice and weather.\u201d<\/em> Unexpected conditions here force Le<\/em> Commandant Charcot<\/em> to take a route a little further to the north than planned, providing an opportunity for an incredible stretch of navigating through the ice<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

First glide on the sea ice<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Positioned finally a little further to the south, the Le<\/em> Commandant Charcot<\/em> stops at a floe large enough to allow a first disembarkation on the sea ice<\/strong> and an opportunity to get to grips with the equipment. On the agenda: mooring in a Zodiac inflatable, pitching a tent and a safety training exercise covering what to do if you fall in the water<\/strong>. Wearing a dry suit to protect them, everyone jumps in the water and practises the techniques required to get back onto the ice using a rope. The strength-based games Ole introduces them to are the perfect way get everyone warmed up again.<\/p>\n

The following day, disembarked on an immense ice floe<\/em>, the team takes things to the next level by learning how to Nordic ski and transport a pulk<\/strong>, a sled weighing around 20 kilos and containing enough to cover each adventurers\u2019 individual needs, such as food, a sleeping bag, a tent, extreme cold weather gloves, a head lamp and a shovel. Once off Le<\/em> Commandant Charcot<\/em> and gliding in a line in the soft light of early evening, the group quickly begins to feel intoxicated by a strong sense of freedom. The scenery is spectacular, ranging from vaste white expanses to pressure ridges and snow-capped peaks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Polar trek: the big leap into the unknown<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Le Commandant Charcot<\/em><\/strong> finally finds the perfect place from which to start the polar trek<\/strong>:\u00a0 opposite the most northerly village of the country\u2019s east coast, Ittoqqortoormiit<\/strong> (Itto to the locals) \u2013 400 souls, which is one third of the population of eastern Greenland. What a fantastic sight this ice-bound village makes!\u00a0 With pulks lined up and skis on feet, it\u2019s time for the brief. Next stop, the village of Unnartoq, followed by a return to Itto for the departure into the mountains. Though here again, it\u2019s \u201cimmaqa\u201d<\/em>, as Ole might say (\u201cperhaps\u201d <\/em>\u00a0in Inuktitut). It\u2019s up to nature to decide. From spending time with the Inuit guide<\/strong>, the team learns to live in the present, to make the most of the moment. And on the day in question, everything is in place for a fantastic shared experience together. Each to their own rhythm. It\u2019s not about racing but about being together with other \u201cexplorers\u201d<\/strong>, about getting back in touch with oneself. A guide in front, another at the end to close off the line, and the opportunity for everyone to take a turn at leading.

Day 1 \u2013 Meeting the Inuits in the land of the bears<\/strong><\/h3>\n

En route to Unnartoq<\/strong>, a still-inhabited former fishing village, the group is progressing tranquilly across the ice pack \u2013 a gentle warm up followed by the sensation of the terrain gradually beginning to rise up a hill. This is where the first difficulties are encountered: controlling one\u2019s pulk on the ascent<\/strong>\u2026 followed by the descent! Before long, the expedition arrives in Unnartoq, with its colourful houses looking out over a frozen sea. Some of the villagers congregate in front of the \u201cvisitors\u201d, providing the opportunity to exchange the first \u201cAluu, qanorippit?\u201d <\/em>(\u201cHi, how are you?\u201d) <\/em>greetings.<\/em> Bear skins are drying in the sun on the balconies.

A plateau on the way out of Unnartog, dominated by the entrance to Scoresby Sound<\/strong><\/a>, is where they decide to set up their first camp<\/strong> and spend their first polar night<\/strong>. People work busily in pairs together. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. The group bonds even further as they pitch the tents and build ice benches so they can sit down in a communal tent for the meal. The fellow adventures share special moments with Ole in the evening, who hums some traditional Inuit tunes<\/strong>. There\u2019s also the song dedicated to him by his mother, an ode to life intended to ease the pain of a brother\u2019s passing. These are moving moments of communion before a return to the tents. It\u2019s now time to organise the watch rota<\/strong>. \u201cDon\u2019t forget that we\u2019re in bear territory,\u201d<\/em> one of the guides emphasises. Everyone therefore takes a turn at keeping watch, carefully scanning the horizon, binoculars in hand. It\u2019s a task to be taken seriously as well as an experience strong in emotions<\/strong>, unreal almost, and sublimely enhanced by intense interludes of contemplation in the middle of the polar night, in the light of the midnight sun.<\/p>\n

Day 2 \u2013 rise up, move off, surpass oneself<\/strong><\/h3>\n

On rising at daybreak, faces are lit up with smiles. Everyone seems to feel safe, in their rightful place and happy to be together. The water for breakfast is prepared using snow. Ole again humming some of his gentle chants, shared moments of rare intimacy and togetherness\u2026 Then the time comes to set off again. After tasting the excitement of a first immersive polar experience<\/strong>, the team heads for the mountains, following in the tracks of Inuit hunters<\/strong>. All around lies an Alpine landscape and deafening silence, broken only by the occasional barks of sled dogs in the valley. The group passes along the edge of a snow-covered frozen lake dotted with a handful of fisherman\u2019s huts. <\/em>It\u2019s hot. The sun is burning. Who would have believed it? The going is hard. The pulks are getting heavier. The line is breaking up and the gaps getting wider. Heads are dropping. People are supporting one another, encouraging each other. It\u2019s time for effort, solidarity and pushing beyond one\u2019s limits. A real and genuine mental battle! The group soon loses sight of the ship. They are now finally facing the immense wild white expanse alone<\/strong>. Facing themselves. To lose sight of the ship, therefore<\/strong>, is to return to one\u2019s rightful place amidst the wildness of nature, amidst a landscape of pack ice stretching as far as the eye can see, with the ridged mountains of Scoresby Sound far away in the distance.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s no time to lose: the group has to set up camp, sleep and keep watch for bears. A certain routine establishes itself. The movements and gestures become more assured, more instinctive. And there\u2019s fatigue on the faces too, though not enough to dampen the group\u2019s good spirits. Dinner is again a convivial moment, with everyone smiling, laughing and chatting. People open up a little bit more than on the previous evening.

A human adventure above all else<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Gradually, they return to civilisation. The barking of the dogs first, then the sound of the snowmobiles and the sight of the houses of the village of Ittoqqortoormiit. Disoriented by what they\u2019ve just shared, our adventurers are left with a feeling of nostalgia when they get back. In the comfort of the ship, everyone\u2019s minds are still elsewhere\u2026\u00a0 a little. They\u2019ll need time to gently return from this voyage within a voyage<\/strong>. There are some certainties however: the certainty of having together felt the thrill of facing this pure, powerful natural environment, through which we are only passing visitors; and the certainty, too, of each having grown in contact with the other, nourished by Inuit wisdom: of having shared in a unique and surreal human experience<\/strong>. The adventure of a lifetime!<\/p>\n
