Preparation meeting in Iceland:
Few weeks before departure, we will have a preparation meeting for the group. It is a great opportunity to ask any questions that might have come up, get good advice regarding equipment and get familiar with your travel buddies.

Day 1: Keflavík – Kulusuk
Departure from Keflavík airport to Kulusuk at 17:30. Arrival 18:15 local time in
Kulusuk. The guide meets the group at the airport. Everyone puts their luggage on a
quad trailer and then the group walks together to the village which takes approx. 30
min.
Night in a local house, hostel dormitory style.

Day 2: Tiniteqilaq – Sermilik Icefjord
In the morning, we go shopping for supplies before leaving Kulusuk. We then start
our journey by sailing along Ammassalik Island and its sharp peaks. Then onwards
through the Ikaasa strait where steep mountains tower on both sides. Eventually we
arrive in Tiniteqilaq, a tiny village at the opening of the Sermiliq Icefjord. After shortly
exploring the village, the guide leads us through rugged landscape up to a 410m
(1345ft) summit with stunning views of the Greenland Icecap. Sermilik fjord is in full
view with its vast amounts of Icebergs surrounded by amazing mountains. Our hike
continues until arrival at our first campsite in a small fjord late in the afternoon.
Approx 5 hours walk.

Day 3:The Narrow fjord
We start the day by climbing the rugged slopes up to 538m (1765ft) where we find
ourselves at another extraordinary viewpoint. After enjoying the sight of Sermilik and
its unreal Icebergs we descend towards Amitsivattiva, where we put up camp for the
night. Here we are, nestled in the narrowest fjord imaginable. It’s only a couple of
hundred meters across but over 4km long.
Approx 5-6 hours walk.

Day 4: Sapulik bay
In the morning, we load a luggage boat before continuing our journey on a rocky
path along a mesmerizing bluegreen lake. At the end of it, we cross a river, flowing
from a nearby outlet glacier into the lake. As we continue scaling the lake banks we
come across another river which we follow into a small bay called Sapulik. We go on
along the shores of Sapulik until we arrive at its narrowest part, at the opening to the
Sermilik fjord. Breathtaking view of the Greenland ice cap and the Icebergs on the
fjord await us and here we put up our camp. There is even a chance of seeing a
whale.
Approx 6-7 hours walk.

Day 5: Sermilk fjord coast to Nuuk peninsula
We to the north as we walk along the coast. Sometimes it´s also appropriate to head
up on the hills above the shore. Crack in an iceberg breaking and an occasional
Ringed Plover are among the very few things likely to break the silence in this place.
We come to a small bay where icebergs often get stranded, some of them the size of
a family car. We continue to a larger bay where we must wade across a river, which
is regenerative for body & mind. In the afternoon we arrive at a Nuuk peninsula
where we put up our camp.
Approx 6-7 hours walk.

Day 6: Sun Gate and Qinertivaq fjord
Early morning we leave the Sermilik fjord and start our hike through a narrow valley.
It leads us to the Trout lake, a small lake surrounded by steep mountains and
glaciers rising to around 1850m (6000ft). The mountain view will hardly be described
with words. At Trout Lake, we turn northeast and cross yet another glacial river. On
the riverbanks, we can admire the national flower of Greenland, The Arctic River
Beauty. We continue to the Qinertivaq fjord where we put up our last camp.
Approx 8 hours walk.

Day 7: Kumiiuut and Knud Rasmussen
A day of sailing excursion to discover the village Kumiiuut, the WW2 airport at Ikatek
and the floating glacier front of Knud Rasmusen glacier in the Karale fjord. Fantastic
end to a great trek. After we arrive to Kulusuk we take a short walk around the village, visit a a local museum and prepare a farewell dinner together in our house.
Approx 2 hours walk.

Day 8: Kulusuk – Keflavik Airport
After breakfast, we take a walk through the village and into the hills that surround it.
Learn about the story of Cap Dan and its role in the Cold War and admire some of
the pristine nature of Kulusuk Island. We pack our things and put the bags on the
quad trailer before walking to the airport where we say goodbye.  At 19:00 we take
off towards Keflavik, arriving at 21:45 Iceland time.
