Frequently Asked Questions
At the head of the fjord, after an approach of roughly 190 km between brown walls and milky water. Ships anchor and land passengers by tender at the edge of the tundra.
For the ice sheet. A drivable gravel road of about 37 km runs to the very edge of the inland ice at Point 660: nowhere else in Greenland can you drive to the ice.
Yes, a few guided steps at the edge of the inland ice at Point 660. For most passengers it is the high point of the whole Arctic voyage.
An ice front some sixty metres high, about 25 km from the settlement, approached on foot from the road. Close enough to hear it crack and, with luck, watch a section collapse.
Three to five hours for Point 660 or the Russell Glacier, on a rough gravel road. Anyone with a fragile back should sit this one out: the ride is genuinely bumpy.
The area holds one of the densest musk ox populations in the country. Reindeer, Arctic hare and Arctic fox also turn up, and guides know where to look for each.
Not in the usual sense. Kangerlussuaq began as an American air base in the 1940s and still looks like a crossroads: hangars, converted barracks, a supermarket, a cafeteria, a post office and a few souvenir shops. Nobody comes for the architecture.
Yes. It is continental, unusually dry and stable for the Arctic. Clear days are the rule rather than the exception, which helps both the views and the wildlife watching.
In July, yes: they can be fierce on the tundra. A head net earns its place for sensitive skin, and repellent is not something you can count on buying locally.
Layers, a windproof shell and sunglasses: glare off the ice is intense even under cloud. Closed shoes with good grip for walking at the edge of the ice sheet.
