HIGHLIGHTS

The climb of Mount Kuummiit
The Sermilik Icefjord
The crossing of Ammassalik Island
The secret landscape beauty of Kulusuk Island

Greenland is the largest island on the planet (four times the size of France, five times the size of California) and its ice cap covers 80% of its surface. The East coast is colder and almost completely covered with ice with few patches of land. This hiking trip takes you to three of the loveliest villages of this region and its capital, Tasilaq. Learn about the Inuit culture that has made it possible to survive the most hostile conditions one finds on Earth, for thousands of years. Climb the Kuummiit mountain and the Somandsfjell, enjoy the incredible view, and sail among the icebergs in the Sermilik fjord. The trip includes the scenic walk across the Ammassalik Island and the secret spots of Kulusuk Island. An incredible lesson in geography and culture all in one trip.
