So remote – and yet so close
It’s inevitable that your thoughts fly as far away as the mass of ice. How far does it stretch from east to west, north to south?
In a helicopter you get a feeling of the distances which you can scarcely dream about. By boat and with a good pair of hiking boots it’s possible to get close to the edge of the ice at several places.
In Kangerlussuaq the Ice Sheet is 25 km away and you can reach it by mountain bike, on foot or in an off-roader. Be transported in an off-roader from Kangerlussuaq to the Russell Glacier with its 60-metre sheer face.
If you visit the area in the summer, you may be lucky enough to see the ice calving. Perhaps you’d like a trip in which you walk for 2 days on the ice and stay overnight in a tent. We guarantee a peaceful night’s sleep and a new insight into how insignificant you are in the great scheme of things.
