Cruises from Cape York (Kap York)
Cape York lies at the northern end of Melville Bay that hugs the northwestern coast of Greenland. It is part of the much larger Baffin Bay that separates Greenland from the northern islands of Canada. The cape lies 1010 km inside the Arctic Circle, and 1550 km south of the Geographic North Pole. There are no permanent settlements near Cape York. There’s a chain of small islands that stretch east and south from Cape York along the coast of Greenland.
