Dance of the Northern Lights
Nothing compares to the spectacular Northern Lights that paint the sky above Ilulissat in shades of green, purple and yellow. Winter is the perfect time to experience this natural phenomenon, and Ilulissat’s isolated location ensures optimal conditions to enjoy the show under a crystal clear starry sky.
Ice fishing in the frozen fjord.
A test of patience between man and nature, ice fishing is a method that is still used today. It’s an ancient way of drilling a hole in thick ice – and it’s almost like opening a window to a hidden underwater world. Here, in the icy water swim the large halibut that Greenlandic hunters still fish for.
You catch with a longline where you sink the line into the depths. It can feel like a victory if a halibut finally bites – patience pays off, because standing still can be cold despite the warm clothes – and we like to warm ourselves with hot chocolate along the way.
Snowmobile – play – arrival at the unsurpassed.
There’s something unrivaled about driving with the wind in your face and the feeling of driving on freedom.
A snowmobile tour allows you to get up close and personal with the ice fjords and massive ice formations.
One of the biggest benefits (besides being fun, adrenaline-pumping and exciting) of snowmobiling is that it allows you to experience areas of Greenland that would otherwise be inaccessible. You’ll only truly understand this when you explore remote valleys, cross frozen lakes, and maybe even encounter wild animals in their natural habitat.
Snowmobiling is a safe activity when done with an experienced guide. You will receive thorough instruction and all necessary equipment to ensure a safe and comfortable ride.
Isfjorden – A UNESCO wonder.
The Ilulissat Icefjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a winter wonderland to behold; the huge icebergs drifting slowly into the sea are impressive in the bluish light of winter. Take a boat trip among the icebergs or explore the area on foot – every angle reveals a new masterpiece created by nature’s hand. Read more about Ilulissat Icefjord.
Icebergs crack, calve and fall off. Just listening to it makes you feel small – and lucky to experience it. – Elise Bruun, Travel by Heart – Greenland.
