Icefjords and Remote Villages of Overview

An Arctic wilderness walking holiday in East Greenland, one of the most remote locations on earth

With towering granite peaks, unspoilt nature, shimmering glaciers, and fjord-cut coastline, East Greenland is one of the most spectacular locations on Earth. On this walking holiday we will explore this boundless wilderness from several different bases: first Kulusuk Island; then Kuummiut, an isolated community on a peninsula deep in the fjords; Camp Quaato, a mountain refuge right at the heart of this raw, glacial landscape; and finally, Tasiilaq, the tiny “capital” of eastern Greenland, on the island of Ammassalik. Here, we have a day to explore amongst the colourful houses, fishing boats and howling sled dogs; this is a local community with a true pioneering spirit. Highlights will include the ascent of Kuummiut Mountain (1050m), offering views that extend to the Greenland Icecap, and following the Sermilik Way, a route used by the Inuit for generations. We connect the dots with a series of exciting boat transfers; as we whisk past the icebergs we should look out for seals and fin whales also making their way through they fjords. This is the perfect holiday for those seeking a real wilderness adventure.
