10 DAYSSUMMERDAYS, PRESENTED ONE BY ONE

Ten days through fjords, ice and living Inuit culture: the ice sheet at Nagtivit, a night in Tiilerilaaq, the forgotten airbase at Ikateq, and a day that asks nothing of you at all. Our fullest itinerary, told as a journey.

Whichever you choose, the destination is the same: silence, and the scale of the land.

These are drafts, not packages

Written by locals

Each journey comes from someone who lives and works here: a guesthouse owner, a musher, a tourist officer born in the settlement.

Rewritten by the weather

Weather happens here. Days move, boats wait, plans soften. Every itinerary is built to be adapted, easier or wilder, on the morning it happens.

Booked with local operators

We do not sell trips. Take an itinerary to one of the region's operators, or travel it independently if you have the experience.
