Ilulissat lies 350kms north of the Arctic Circle where majestic icebergs, carving from Greenland’s west coast glaciers, drift and shift in midnight’s changing light. Incredible colours of indigo, turquoise and silver reflect amongst the shapes and patterns of the ice around our boat. During these summer months humpback whales feed along this nutrient-rich sheltered coast.
Ilulissat Ice Fjord is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Inuit fishing community here live in brightly coloured wooden houses built on solid rock. Here we will explore aspects of the old Inuit life and crafts including hand carvings, fish drying and husky dogs. From our luxury hotel the wonders of the Arctic await.
