Camp and accommodation on the ice sheet.
At Kangerlussuaq, the only way to the ice cap if you want to move up onto the ice itself is to drive to the ice edge in an all-terrain vehicle. From here, a brisk walk into the “realm of silence” awaits you, interrupted only by the sound of your breathing and the crunch of snow underfoot.
Once you arrive at the camp, tents are pitched. Your guide will help you as you go, and together you’ll cook on the stove (freeze-dried, but it tastes great with a view of the plains). When darkness falls, the warm sleeping bags you’ve brought with you in the tents are “a refuge in the night.” The starry sky is massive in all its blackness, and when morning comes it’s overwhelming to wake up in the camp, far away from everything.
The feeling of walking on ice.
The next day you’ll go on a longer trip into the ice sheet. Here, the ice can be hard and slippery, and the surface varies from almost flat to steep and hilly. Your guide will bring crampons to strap under your shoes and you will experience how your steps on the ice are stabilized. This way you can move around more freely and explore the surrounding area.
An experienced guide will be with you throughout the trip, providing you with all the necessary information. The guide knows the area, takes into account the natural conditions on the day, and has all the right equipment for being on the ice sheet. On the way to camp, you’ll pull a sled with your luggage.

The sight blew me away; imagine standing and looking out over the ice sheet and seeing the side of Greenland that only a few people get to experience. -Frida, traveler with Travel by Heart Greenland .
