Ilulissat: Town of Icebergs, 5 days, 2010
5 days / 4 nights, Ilulissat - Ice Fjord - Kangerlussuaq - Copenhagen | This tour is a combination of two of the most interesting destinations in West Greenland. Ilulissat, the town of the Icebergs combined with the wildlife area of Kangerlussuaq. It is a short-cut to a greater understanding of the Arctic.
Kangerlussuaq is not only an international airport and a gateway into Greenland, the area actually has much to offer.
Greenland Wildlife - Kangerlussuaq is the best area in Greenland to spot Arctic wildlife - close to the hotel you often see reindeer and musk oxen!
The Inland Ice Cap - No other destination in Greenland offers this easy access to the Inland Ice Cap - here we drive by 4x4 vehicle directly to the amazing Ice Cap.
Fantastic weather - The location approx. 160km from the coast makes Kangerlussuaq one of the most weather stable destinations in Greenland with lots of sunshine.
Ilulissat - You will get familiar with a modern Greenlandic town north of the Polar Circle & experience the unique Disko Bay.
Calving Glaciers & Gigantic Icebergs - Majestic Icebergs are situated in the Icefjord right outside the town. Experience them at close range on our Midnight Cruises or during full day excursions, where we cruise close to the impressive Eqip Glacier.
Isolated Settlements - On other excursions we sail to small and remote settlements, where "the old world" and the Greenlandic hunters are still to be experienced.
Helicopter Excursion - Over the UNESCO designated Ilulissat Ice Fjord & its gigantic icebergs to the Ilulissat Glacier.
