Port Prince Christian Sund Passage
and its characteristics
Navigating through Prince Christian Sound is a highlight for many Arctic cruises. The channel is around 100 kilometers (60 miles) long and can be as narrow as 500 meters (1,600 feet) in places, with the cliffs rising directly from the water on either side. Due to its narrowness, large icebergs often block the passage, making navigation tricky. The Sound is only accessible to ships during the summer months when the ice conditions allow.
The area is largely uninhabited, but there is a small settlement named Aappilattoq located in the vicinity. The Sound offers a unique and breathtaking natural experience, characterized by its pristine Arctic environment and wildlife.
