South Greenland - Summer 2026
Jul 24 - Aug 5, 2026
Getting to know South Greenland means going beyond the Arctic frontier: a world which has been the home of the Inuit people, and which still holds on to the flavor of their traditional lifestyle.
Southern Greenland offers the traveler the impact of a sea covered in icebergs and the awe-inspiring beauty of the glaciers overflowing into the tranquility of the fjords. The landscape, with its intense green colors and leafy tundra and its colorful settlements, also provides character to this trip that makes the Arctic reachable for any adventure-minded traveler.
On our route, we will be able to navigate through the fjords among blue-tinged icebergs and alongside spectacular glacier tongues. We will sleep in a camp located in a privileged setting, right next to a glacier. We will also have the opportunity to visit one of Inlandis's glaciers, and cover a small part of its immensity or enjoy an impressive kayak excursion among icebergs.
We will be able to take spectacular treks through the tundra and in the glacier valleys, see herds of caribou and marine fauna, gather mushrooms and cranberries.
Along the way we will get an insight to the story of the Norse settlers.
Over the past 1,000 years, Inuit and Viking cultures have shaped Qassiarsuk and the people and land of South Greenland. The Igaliku area in the region represent the most comprehensive and rich examples of Norse and Greenlandic farming culture.
This unique heritage has been recently recognized and inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Journey Highlights
Navigate in a sea filled with icebergs, travelling around the glaciers in adventurous RIB boats, observe the blue-tinged ice and admire the beauty of Inlandis or Greenland's Polar Ice Cap.
Visiting Greenlandic settlements, such as Qassiarsuk, Igaliku and Narsaq
A unique excursion with crampons, guided through labyrinthine crevasses and drains in one of the oldest ice fields in the planet. A truly exclusive trip in Greenland, only comparable to that in Patagonia’s Perito Moreno.
Overnight in the Qaleraliq Glacier Camp, a fix tent camp located in the most magical spot in south Greenland, a sandy beach situated in front of the ice cap. A truly unique experience.
Sighting of local fauna such as eagles, caribou, foxes and arctic hares, or maybe whales and seals
Having first-hand experience of the dramatic progress of climate change in Southern Greenland, an area which offers a rare glimpse of the effects of global warming: glacier withdrawal, increase in the amount of ice that has broken of the glaciers, forest and new vegetation sprouting in terrain which, for centuries could not sustain plant life.
Visiting the Viking ruins of Gardar and Brattahlid, the most important archaeological treasures in South Greenland, part of the Unesco World Heritage.
Opportunity to enjoy an impressive kayak excursion, surrounded by icebergs.
