Named for its towering rock formations, Monumental Island is a key destination for spotting polar bears and walrus in the wild. These craggy outcrops rise from frigid waters, often serving as haul-out spots for Arctic wildlife.

Within Greenland's famed Disko Bay you find the awe-inspiring Eqi Glacier. The mesmerizing blue ice shelves inspire a sense of wonder. Often referred to as the Calving Glacier – as it is one of the country's most active glaciers – if you explore Eqi you're likely to see chunks of calving ice fall from the mass and into the water with a resounding crack. Lying only about 50 miles north of Ilulissat, you're also surrounded by towering icebergs upon navigating the glacier.
