The Ammassalik area of East Greenland is a world-class trekking destination. On this two week self-supported hiking journey, we will follow trails used for generations by ancient Inuit hunters. The trails cross narrow valleys, fjords, and high granite peaks that seem to rise straight from the sea. The expedition takes place in the mountains just east of the Sermilik Fjord – a place accessible only by foot. We will be able to discover fragile flora and the bird life of the Arctic. We will be amazed at the huge numbers of icebergs in the Sermilik Fjord (also known as the “ice fjord”).

We will hike through the mountains to visit the village of Tiilerilaaq (formerly Tiniteqilaaq) and then make our way on foot to the regional capital of Tasiilaq. There will be one re-supply of food along the way, allowing for slightly lighter backpacks part way through, to help us through the more difficult part of the route.

This trip is run in co-operation with S and K Expeditions.
