- This video, which describes a trip taken in August 2016 to Greenland, differs from my usual videos in that it was taken on a Russian icebreaker instead of in Venture. But even an icebreaker has much in common with smaller vessels which take to the high seas and there are features on Flemings which owe their origins to features spotted on larger ships.
Your video brought tears to my eyes with all the beauty. Thank you from his old home bound lady.
Another Masterpiece from you.
Excellent narrator, talked just enough, didn't over do it, very enjoyable to listen too

It’s a dream, and being able to see it through your eyes is almost like a reality. This white and blue world has enormous appeal for me. I can’t thank you enough.
I thoroughly enjoyed this, enjoyable listening too, thank you 🇦🇺
What an awesome adventure!! Such breathtaking beauty. This truly is an amazing planet. Thank you for taking me on this amazing journey to a place I may never see in person.
Wonderful selection of music, and the usual extraordinary photography.
SO BEAUTIFUL! Thank you!
You have such a collection of gifts Tony and I appreciate them all as I watch your travel video. Your photograph is excellent and your story-telling is second to none. Through your adventures I'm able to enjoy many things I would not otherwise have the opportunity (or courage) to see. What a superb production.
Many thanks. Comments like your's spur me on to try harder!
Just keep going folks..
Absolutely exceptional in every way, the videography, narration, editing, choice of music etc like all of your wonderful videos. And having spent a quarter century travelling around the world in many forms, except with wealth, it is indeed a pleasure to watch your work and live the extra adventures by watching your extraordinary videos. Your videos are certainly world class as can be seen by the continuous positive comments that you receive and deserve. Please continue whatever you are doing with zeal. Thank you so much for your efforts to bring such quality to an appreciative audience.
Tony Fleming, you are awesome! Thank you for these excellent videos...I aim to own one of your yachts one day. It's incredible to see all the northern faces and spirits in the glacial ice!
Your documentaries are so wonderful and open up a whole world to so many of us that will never have the chance to experience it ourselves in person.
Thank you so much Mr. Fleming!
Much like the travels of one Mr. Johnson in Hadley, Massachusetts, USA circumnavigated the World numerous times in his sailing yacht and published his journals.
Thank you again.
Calm seas and happy journies to you kind Sir.
The background music is enchanting.
What a wonderful calm voice which makes this video so pleasurable to watch...THANK YOU ...
"... but the fluffy heads of cotton grass dance like ballerinas in the chilly wind." love this guy! I love your use of words, video, and music. So peaceful and beautiful. never stop making these videos! thank you!
Thus is truly an enchanted place and your video and commentary was perfectly timed.
Thank you Tony. Another great adventure. Your videos leave me moved. Cant wait for the next one but also don't want it to come for fear of the series ending. Great work Captain my captain.

Tony you are such a stellar story teller, love your videos and Yachts
Dear Fleming,I am really enthralled and speechless to see your videos depicting the exquisite creations of nature. Thanking you for this .go on creating many more such videos
Awesome cruise, music and video to Greenland; its so wonderful to see what’s there and the beauty of the landscape is breathtaking! I just move to The Kootenay to get away from the town crowd and perhaps, I’ll keep this Greenland journey on my bucket list and write to Santa! Ah ah! Namaste!
24:34 showed great demonstration of flying skill, beautiful maneuvering and flawless landing.
17:14 what a beautiful view with these colors and variety of plants. Even on such difficult, cold place, the nature wants life to exist.
Superb video! Excellent narration & detail!
Thank you very much for sharing. I will probably never make it that far north, but because of your amazing videography, I got to enjoy scenes I couldn't have imagined existed. Cheers.

My compliments Mr. Fleming - thank you for sharing. I also enjoy your insightful narrative.
Excellent video and informative.👏
Thank you Mr. Fleming. I most assuredly enjoyed this.
Totally awesome! It is incompressible that the flagrant actions of mankind can contaminate this pristine beauty, and threaten the survival of humanity on this blessed planet.
Watching this from the tropical warmth of Barbados still made me shiver! Thanks for the excitingly educational and invigorating experience!
Really enjoyed this journey with you. See you on pt.2.👍
Hi Tony, John here in Winnipeg. Great video thanks for your exceptional efforts. Have a great day,
Yes, a lot more even than gneiss, just superb; thank you very much for sharing this experience so well.
Fantastic view of the ice, this like to me a trip of a lifetime.
I feel I'm living vicariously through Tony as I watch his videos. I love it
Me too
@ 29:22. There appears to be 2 black cat head, to each side of the anchor chain reel. Made me smile. Great videos as always, high quality.
I really enjoyed watching, I am going to watch more of your videos, presentation and your knowledge was very insightful...thank you.
This is good stuff!!! So much more enjoyable than anything on TV. I only wish there was more of it!!
Soothing to soul and spirit. Amazing architecture of God. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely Breath Taking Scenery!🚢🛥👍
Chef's kiss my friend. Great video!
Most excelent,brilliantly presented,cheers
"Kap York hidden from view behind the veil of mist." ...... "Rugged mountains and floating castles of ice loom out of the mist." Voice... Words...Music: all so Magical....carried me to an enchanting world.
To the Narrator: Thank You so much. Your description of the mundane ( granite ice as "odd deformed formed interesting patterns", dry landing as "promised and rare") and the lofty (ice "looming out") painted spectacular pictures and a vivid imagination to one who lives in a tropical island...the Philippines.
Really beautiful video. I have enjoyed learning about an area of the world in which I have never come in contact. Beautiful views. Very interesting commentary. Gives one the wish to visit Greenland and its dramatic scenery.
What an amazing place. So beautiful.
Thank you for sharing your trips. So awesome
Wow what magnificent journey!
Excellent videos!! I just came home to a very cold home...(Restoration guys accidently turned off my electric). It was less than 12 degrees outside...and seemed a bit colder in side. So I can relate to the cold. However once the problem was remedied. I was warm in no time. My first action was to turn my computer on, with shaking fingers mind you, and accessed your channel. With a glass of Jack Daniels Honey...warmed up a bit? Yes my life returned. Thank you for my "Plan B" . :>) Ted
Absolutely sublime. I love your narration, too.
Tony, ypur voice your narration, cadence, the tonality, te words and phrases you choose to articulate about what you witness what you feel is profoundly calming and mesmerising. I would *”VENTURE”* to posit that your narration does not need this loud music. If at all, the music should be low volume. To me, This music actually eclipses the beauty of your voice. I wish I could listen to you with only natural sounds as the background. Thats just me though because it is not possible to please everyone(heaps of people will love the music in background).
Thank you very much for your kind comments re narration. I tend to agree with you re loud music and I think you will find that recent videos made in 2022 and 2023 have quieter music tracks, However it is not so simple when it comes to "natural" sound. Firstly, it is vey hard to get because of all the interruptions from extraneous noises - such as engines, pumps, voices, pumps starting, wind, passing aircraft etc etc. Most professional films have people working under the heading of "Foley" who make phoney "natural" sound. If they get real natural sound it usually requires very expensive, sophisticated and bulky equipment. Also, music plays a very important role in creating mood. There can be a huge difference after music has been added. Having no sound sounds wrong - even when showing maps. There has to be ambient sound even then. Also, I have learned that the equipment on which viewers watch the videos makes a huge difference. Some systems seem to deliberately boost the music over the narration. Creating the audio actually takes more time than editing the video.
So good that you don't zoom in on food and drink, but focus on the real thing, we've been on this very trip, too.
Really great to hear a Kiwi voice!
Fantastic , enjoyed very much brings back many memories
very well made doco ! loved it
Thank you for sharing
Great movie!!!! And the music is great!!! Very suit!
what an amazing globe I am so lucky to see this video
another great perfect video .. thank you ... the ship looks like a toy when viewed next to ice bergs and mountains
Excellent narrator.
Just amazing that they (Greenlanders) would see a spot like this and think... "Yeah... lets build our town here" 20:12 I mean...its all rock! I would find nothing hospitable about this spot.
Wonderful landscapes!
Amazing...thank you very much for sharing.
Presently watching from the rocky mountains of northern Philippines,beautiful scenery
Fantastic! Thanks for the upload.
Tony, the fishing boat in the Harbor towing a couple of crates that you didn't know what they are used for, is probably corves, to keep the captured fish in alive for an extended time!
Amazing documentary
Very Beautiful place.God make beautiful world.I am thankful to you .you make beautiful video.& I see the place.
Incredibly fascinating, educational, almost surreal in places! Thank you Tony Fleming for this film showing us wondrous Planet Greenland, in its Icy splendour! I've seen these brown mountains & glaciers, fjords, tiny broken "peppermint icebergs" from 35K feet, enroute back to Vancouver; felt very humbled & grateful. Now to find part 2! We must not lose these immense Icefields so crucial to the Health of our Earth & oceans! Bye for now, Stay Well. Joan @joan_rollins /twtr.
Beautiful footage 💙💙💙
Excellent video and the music is on-point.
Thank you for your beautiful video and very peaceful and amazing comments... thank you...
This would be a perfect film for a geography class.... I have never had the opportunity to see Greenland like this. Wonderful!
Beautiful, I In joyed the hole video, Thank you
Such a great documentary with beautiful filming by Tony Fleming.
Looks like the Canadian Astronaut Corps is playing amongst the Greenland ice, I imagine Chris Hadfield and his fluent Russian comes in handy and he is probably quite a hit amongst the Russian crew. Seeing as he is the only Canadian ever to visit the Mir and he lived in Russia for 2 years, heading up NASA operations there.
Great video. I can't imagine what it must cost to go aboard this cruise.
Thank you again.
Wonderful experience.
Love the paper charts. I can see the human souls …..ancient and beautiful.
Mr flem love this an adore this spit.to hell with the bloody Bbc and I say that lightly you are a GEM, Bless you...BRILL.
Thank you for the video.
Such a nice documentary.i have always interest in ice - cold country's live like Greenland ,Iceland ,Norway.thanks for sharing.
Really good video well done. Great music too.... Ben brown was on same trip as you. He did a you tube series of videos of his experience, though I think your video offers better insight. I love all your films. One day I might even get my own trawler yacht! Best wishes jonathan
Majestically beautiful.
It's truly a memorable day
I really enjoy hearing those Australian accents. [Aussie in BC]
Outstanding, thank you!!!
Very nice video thanks for sharing.
Beautifully done. It's just I am experiencing outside video otherwise you really made me feel that I am experiencing it in there.
This is a great video. For people like myself who enjoy these "excursion" videos, check out the video tour on the Trans-Siberian Express. Marvelous!!
ty very much😘
Nic and beatiful Video Thanks capitan fleming💎
Um maravilhoso vídeo. Brasil 🇧🇷 Manaus Amazonas 👏👏👏👍
Thank you! Thank you! Just stunning photography, a wonderful adventure. It's now on my bucket list. There are several trips to this region, which one did you take? Any reason you chose that one vs alternatives?
How do you get hold of the trip and how much roughly would be the cost?
Beautiful beautiful beautiful 😻
Just hope one day I will be able to visit Greenland and Iceland.
this year I was in Antarctica and passed Antarctic Circle too. :) now my aim is North Pole. :) Hope my dream will come true. :)
