Camp Ice Cap

A tour to Camp Ice Cap offers a scenic drive, experienced guides, accommodation in expedition tents, hot drinks, and hikes on safe icy terrain.

The tour to Camp Ice Cap is a 25-hour tour you can go on with Greenland Tavel, among others. It begins in an all-terrain vehicle with good panoramic windows so you can enjoy the changing landscape along the way. The climate in Kangerlussuaq is stable, and the guide is highly experienced in walking on ice. You walk from the Ice Sheet’s edge to Camp Ice Cap, where you will be accommodated in the expedition tents. If the weather permits and you are up to it, you can go on a short hike and enjoy the wintery landscapes in the summertime. The tents have warm thermal sleeping bags, so don’t worry about freezing at night. After a nutritious breakfast and a good night’s sleep, it’s time for a longer hike than the day before. We will hike on the endless meadows of ice. Cracks in the ice in the distance testify to the fact that, in summer, the ice is changeable and breaking up, while in winter, the opposite is true. We keep a safe distance from danger while we visit some turquoise lakes and rivers forming on the ice cap in summer.
