Russell Glacier is one of the two primary attractions in the Ice Sheet in Kangerlussuaq. It is a striking sight with high ice walls. You should not skip visiting the Greenland Ice Sheet while you are in Kangerlussuaq, as it is only 25 kilometers away. Most people find the distance too great to walk, so they opt to travel to the ice in one of the huge 4X4 vehicles made specifically for this purpose. You will encounter a wide variety of landscapes on the trip to the ice, from patches of lush grass on one side of the automobile to tiny, whirling sand tornadoes in the Arctic desert on the other.
