Embark on an extraordinary expedition with our most popular tour to explore the majestic Greenland Ice Cap.
Sermersuaq, meaning “ice cap” in Greenlandic, holds profound significance as it directs attention to the Greenland ice cap—an iconic focal point amid heightened global concerns about climate change. Our expedition takes you to the awe-inspiring “Qalerallit Sermia,” near the city of Narsaq. Depending on weather and sea ice conditions, our journey may extend to the water’s edge, offering a rare opportunity to walk on the exposed land (20 min.).
Board our comfortable and specially equipped vehicles as we traverse the rugged terrain, navigating through pristine landscapes towards the vast expanse of the Ice Cap. Deepen your understanding of the glacial dynamics and the unique ecosystem thriving in this frozen realm.
If the weather allows it, you will stand by the remnants of retreating ice, connecting with the enormity of the ice cap that blankets 80% of Greenland. The contrast of your own scale against this immense sheet of ice highlights the impact of environmental changes. Witnessing the ice firsthand challenges preconceptions about its vulnerability to the warming climate.
Our Ice Cap trip is not just a journey into the Arctic wilderness; it’s an exploration of the forces shaping our planet. Join us for an expedition that transcends the ordinary, offering an unparalleled encounter with the breathtaking grandeur of the Greenland Ice Cap. Experience the stark beauty of Greenland’s changing landscapes and reflect on the fragility of its icy realms in the face of climate shifts.
