Technical session introduced by the guide and then transfer by zodiac to Qingaarsuup Nunaa where we will start the kayak expedition. We will follow the coast of the island, along the ice covered fjord among big and small icebergs coming from Eqalorutsit glacier.

We will travel through an area full of ringed seals. In this area, there is usually a greater density of ice, slowing down the kayak and sometimes even blocking access at certain locations.

When we start the crossing to Nuulussuaq Peninsula we´ll get the first views of the ice cap.

Once we arrive to Nuulussuaq, we will install our camp.

Night in tents.

We will paddle through a setting of low-slung islands, with waterfalls and alongside leafy tundra which contrasts with the blue and white of the icebergs.

Several islands and peninsulas are separating the ice cap from Ikersuaq fjord. This magical landscape attracted the Vikings to establish settlements in several coastal areas. And of course we will camp in one of these former Viking settlements.

Kayaking among blue icebergs provides us a special feeling of the Arctic nature. We will sail in Maniitsup Tunua fjord, surrounded by the peninsulas of Maniitsop, Niaqornap Nunaa and Nuulussuaq.

We are just in front of the ice cap, camping not so far away from Naajaat Sermiat glacier front. This is time to allow our senses to enjoy the unbelievable views of one of the oldest masses of ice on the planet.

This is not the only area that will surprise you. The next step will be special when we get closer to Qaleraliq Glacier.

Night in tents.

Today, we are sailing around Akuliaruseq Island (Caribou Island) which may allow us to admire this fauna approaching the coast or include the glacier front.
Sailing along Qaleraliq fjord, we will arrive to Qaleraliq glacier with its three glacier tongues nearly 10 km wide, probably the most spectacular glacial scenery in south Greenland. We will camp on a sandy beach.

If weather conditions and time allow it, we will ascent to the base of Tasersuatsiaq great lake. Ascent by foot through a unique desert-like sand valley which will lead us to a surprisingly different landscape, that of the green and thick tundra., observing (if we are lucky) the caribou feeding on salts from the fjord, and at night, enjoying the thundering sound of the seracs breaking away in the area's magical silence.

Night in tents

We will paddle direct to the ice. And right in the spot where the rare ski expeditions crossing the ice cap south-north use to start, We will go into the glacier and cover just a small part of its immensity, among the rimes (crevasses), large cracks and drains. Enjoying a short trekking on one of the oldest masses of ice on the planet. A unique experience.

Back on the kayaks we will continue the navigation along the glacier fronts, admiring the beauty of their vertical walls, ice walls and numerous icebergs as we approach them along its more than 10 kilometres descent to the sea. These glacier fronts used to be a solid one, but the dramatic progress of climate change divided it in three glacier fronts.

We will install our camp in Caribou Island. During the night, we will hear the thunder roar of ice cracking and fall from the glacier.

Night in tents

We will start the way back to Qingaarsuup Nunaa Island, kayaking through Ikerssuaq Fjord. This is an area where the chances of seeing whales are greatest.

Big icebergs use to decorate Ikerssuaq Fjord. These are enormous ice blocks coming from Eqalorusit and Qorooq Fjords. Maybe a Greenlandic seals will come up in your way or you will find it resting on a an ice sheet you passing by.

in your way or staying over these icebergs.

Our kayak trip will be ending in Qingaarsuup Nunaa and then be transferred to Narsaq. Free
