A journey to another world – 5 days at the edge of the Ice Cap at Kangerlussuaq / Sdr. Stromfiord

Could you imagine ...
• enjoying a fantastic tour on a dog sledge?
• standing on the ice looking out over the huge ice cap?
• experiencing the fascinating northen lights in the clear polar sky?
• seeing musk oxen and reindeer?
• trying a wild tour on the snow mobile?
• taking an ice fishing tour on the frozen fiord?

In that case Kangerlussuaq is the place – her you will get an optimal taste of the winter world of Greenland

Just north of the Polar Circle, close to the Ice Cap you'll find Kangerlussuaq. Here – only 4 ½ hours flight from Copenhagen – a world filled with contrasts awaits you. The arctic winter is more than just cold. It bids you a sight you never forget, when the low sunbeams cover the snowy mountains with a riot of sunset colours or when the northern lights in the night flames over the frosty clear sky giving you the impression of a huge cathedral rizing high over the frozen fiord – and mayby let you see the tracks from the dog sledge tour earlier in the day, where you well dressed in seal skin clothing sat on a dog sledge enjoying the quietness, only interrupted by the noice from the drivers whip and the dogs breathing when forcing its way.

Here the nature rules more than the time, and sometimes it feels like the time stands still in the huge winter landscape, which Kangerlussuaq is a part of. The arctic winter is cold, but rich in experiences, when snow, cold, ice, northern lights, high blue sky, low sun and fresh air melt together in a cornucopia of expressions, giving you an unforgettable experience to bring back home.

To get the full benefit of your stay we recommend that you buy an excursion package and eventually full provisioning, consisting of a lunch pack, you can bring along on the various tours, and a one course dinner (the day's special) at the restaurant "Roklubben" (the Rowing Club). See more about prices under the Facts (to the right) and see more about excursions in the area here.

The accommodation is at the youth hostel "Old Camp". Bed linen, towel and breakfast are included in the price. Bath and toilet in the hallway.
