With no less than 100 islands, the Upernavik area is perfect for a holiday with a kayak and paddle. Here there’s shelter, still waters, white walls of ice and in truth a landscape without parallel. You can paddle from settlement to settlement. From July to August the local inhabitants welcome you with open arms. The frozen waters don’t begin to melt until June.
Superb colours
The houses are painted in the most attractive colours, and when the sun shines we see them in a new light as the hours of the day tick by – just as the fells and icebergs also change shape and colour.
It’s a truism that there’s no such thing as bad weather – just the wrong clothing. With sealskin clothes and boots in order, then a winter visit to Upernavik is a fantastic experience with the northern lights flickering in magnificent colours in the night sky. Life here has logistics as one of its biggest challenges. You can also learn about hunting seals and catching Greenland halibut on long lines.
Worth an excursion
Get up in the morning in the cosy Bed & Breakfast, drink a good cup of hot coffee or tea and take in the scene. The Ice Sheet is a major producer of ice sculptures which no artist would ever have the imagination to capture. They are filtered out into the Upernavik Icefjord, majestic and a law unto themselves. Go for a walk to the cemetery and you’ll see cement graves and plastic flowers in all the colours of the rainbow. That’s just a fact of life when it’s impossible to dig in the frozen ground and flowers wither extremely rapidly in the freezing temperatures.
Culinary input
Let the various impressions be absorbed into your soul while making dinner. Let yourself be inspired by the choice of items in the local shop, which has a selection ranging from Danish pork sausage to walrus and prawns.
Welcome to the experiences of the other world. Go exploring for new exciting experiences right here.
