Isortoq lies approximately 100 km west of Tasiilaq on Greenland’s east coast and is Ammassalik’s smallest and most southerly settlement. For those that cross the Ice Sheet, Isortoq is a very special settlement. If you come from the west, it’s the first built-up area you meet following your exertions over 600 km of ice. Isortoq is often the starting or finishing point of expeditions crossing the Ice Sheet because it’s so close to the ice cap. Isortoq means “the foggy sea”. It was said in former times that there was so much fog on the water that a kayaker couldn’t see his own paddle when he dipped it in the water!
For the tough ones
Isortoq is situated just five kilometres from where the Ice Cap has its steep, harsh and dramatic beginnings. Here there are no fells to shelter the small houses from the storms that batter the area and you get a good picture of what the Inuit were up against in the often merciless nature of the Arctic. However, there’s a good reason why the settlement was established here, as the area is great for hunting.
The many islands, fjords and coves, combined with a huge amount of drifting ice and large icebergs, make the area a paradise for seals and other wildlife. Get close to a settlement that has bred some of Greenland’s toughest hunters and most skilful dog handlers. This is quite simply a prerequisite for survival, and is just as true today as it was in the past.
Welcome to the experiences of the other world. Go exploring for new exciting experiences right here.

Ice cap
The Ice Cap in Greenland is thousands of years old, and its power is overwhelming and breathtaking. Look forward to meeting the largest ice cap in the northern hemisphere.
Trophy hunting
A trophy from reindeer and musk ox is on many hunters' wish list. And in Greenland, the goal is within short reach; only about five hours journey from Denmark you can get on musk and reindeer hunting.
Kayaking
Kayaking in Greenland is for experienced rowers who enjoy the silent movement in waters with white mountains as a backdrop.
Angling
Do rods, spinners and fish in all shapes and sizes have you hooked? Fishing is a pastime that can be enjoyed at any time of the year by people who love the challenge of rivers and lakes.
Sailing
Embark, disembark, head ashore, then embark once more! But never miss out on the chance to take a sailing trip through the magnificent landscape that’s sure to sweep you off your feet.

It’s a short distance from towns and settlements to open expanses with lakes, fells and the sea. Remember your map and compass or let yourself be guided by an experienced pathfinder.
