Albatros Arctic Circle - Greenland Brochure

EXPLORE
ANOTHER WORLD
- Venture deep into a white wonderland
The opportunity to simply set foot on the
Greenland’s Ice Sheet is a great experience,
but to walk amid its white emptiness on a mini
expedition is truly an unbeatable adventure.
In this exciting full-day excursion, we will have
8 hours to explore the Greenland Ice Sheet.
Few people venture onto the Ice Sheet, yet so
much awaits only a little deeper within, where a
great ice landscape unfolds! On this excursion,
we will wander among the hills and valleys, and
eventually find ourselves surrounded by crystal
blue streams, rivers, waterfalls and lakes - all
formed by melt water from the ice.
Equipped with crampons and hiking poles,
walking across the ice sheet is still a bit more
challenging than trekking across hilly terrain,
but you will manage the technique after some
instruction from our guides. All levels of
experience are welcome to join. With 500
meters of ancient ice compacted beneath our
feet, we will wander through the Arctic Desert
in pursuit of the ideal spot to enjoy lunch.
Here, the drinking water comes directly from
the glacial lake!
During our drive to and from the Greenland
Ice Sheet, we will pass through serene Arctic
landscapes, which are home to reindeer, musk
oxen and many varied species of Arctic birds and
plant life.
Be sure to bring adequate gear for the hike,
including sunglasses, sunscreen, a warm jacket
and hiking boots.
