Using the marked track starting at Nunataaq. Some tricky sections after that but nothing our 5 year old couldn’t do.
A great hint to help you choose your outdoor gear and clothing!

An easy walk mainly on dirt roads to the camp site. There's a glacier river nearby and plenty of drinking water sources.
The ascent was very steep and loose - especially between 1100-1500 meters. Scrambling and almost climbing by the end. The descent was very nice and less steep. Next time I’ll go up and down by my descent-route. If there...
The only obvious difficult section is right after leaving the campsite. We had to climb up through loose terrain with worn out fixed ropes that I recommend not to rely on at all. With a little bit of care the section can...

This is a bushwhack. There is no trail. The trek took 7.5 days and is roughly 90-100 miles depending on how often you reroute. The terrain is quite varied and never easy going. The tussocks and bogs cover roughly 50% of ...

In August 2007 I had the good fortune to be a member of a group of hikers doing a four day trek along the shores of the majestic Sermilik fjord in Eastern Greenland. We flew into Kulusuk airport, were transported by spee...
Home to Kangerlussuaq’s weather station and airport radar, TACAN has one of the most expansive views over the surrounding backcountry and some of the best chances to spot wildlife close to town. The hike is fairly lon...
