Northern lights and the Inland Ice Cap

The area around Kangerlussuaq is the only inhabited place in Greenland’s inland. The climate is continental with very stable weather conditions. This was also originally the reason why the Americans chose this place for their base. If you go for a walk in the area, there are still remnants to see from that time.

The next days you are on your own to do what you want. We recommend at tour to the Ice Cap Point 660, which gives you a unique opportunity to stand with many, many feet thick and very old ice under your feet!

Another day with many opportunities. If you travel in the period of dogsledding, we recommend a two hours dogsled trip. A dogsled trip across the frozen fjord is a wonderful and unique experience. Find the balance, sit back and enjoy the nature and fresh air wearing a warm sealskin suit - and always carry your camera within reach. If you bought the excursion package, you can buy two extra hours.

If you travel outside the dogsled period, you can go on a tundra and wildlife tour. Kangerlusssuaq has incredibly beautiful nature and is home to the massive musk ox. We will drive through the stunning tundra landscape in our 4WD truck and the guide will fill us in on the various wildlife in this area. Maybe we'll get the chance to spot musk oxen and learn more about these incredible creatures.

The musk ox lives wildly in the area around Kangerlussuaq. Whether we can come close to musk oxen, or simply look at them from a distance, is not predictable. But the guide always brings binoculars, so there is a very good chance of seeing these amazing animals and other wildlife in the area. Don't miss this exciting opportunity to explore the stunning nature and wildlife around Kangerlussuaq.

If you travel in the season for northern lights, you must give yourself this experience. Kangerlussuaq is one of the best places to see the Northern Lights in Greenland because of a very stable climate. We drive away from the base into the dark night and await the stunning sight of the northern lights. To see the flattering curtain of light in greenish colors is an unforgettable sight and will give you an even heavier luggage of grand impressions.

Many participants over the years have had great experiences at Russel Glacier. On a tour to Russel Glacier you can experience the spectacular Russell glacier, which with its up to 60 meters vertical wall of ice is a surprising and impressive sight. You may also on this trip be lucky to see musk oxen, reindeer or even a hare roaming in the hills.

The time has unfortunately come to leave Greenland. The Airbus is waiting to take you back to Copenhagen with arrival 4-4,5 hours later.
