Albatros Arctic Circle - Greenland Brochure

ICEFJORD
NIGHT WALK
- Snowshoes walk
DURATION: 2 HOURS
SEASON: FEBRUARY TO APRIL
Winter nights dress the landscape of Ilulissat, sometimes
dotted-with-stars black, sometimes full-moon white and
sometimes Northern-Lights green. No matter the color, it
is a landscape that will awake all your senses.
Using snowshoes and ski poles is a comfortable way to
hike in winter conditions. The knowledge and experience
of our local guides will help you to make the best of this
trip. We will take you to the Ilulissat Icefiord, the UNESCO
World Heritage Site. From there, no sound or artificial
light prevent us from fully experiencing the winter nights.
In the middle of the wilderness, where silence is the only
sound, we will find shelter to have hot drinks and biscuits,
tell Inuit stories and talk about the nature and lifestyle
of Greenland. And if “Sila” allows us, we will witness the
spectacular phenomenon of the Northern Lights from our
privileged position.

From mid-April, the daylight
is longer, so our tours will be

the night is dark.
