The final stage of the North American part of the tour takes you on the arduous crossing of the North Atlantic Ocean to Iceland, our gateway to Europe. The first part is the nearly 200 mile crossing of the Davis Strait to Greenland, before a nearly 300 mile crossing of the vast ice sheet that covers over 80 percent of the world’s largest island. The final part of the stage is the 300 mile crossing from Greenland to Iceland, as you make the first European landing of the tour<\/p>\n
