SCORESBYSUND, GREENLAND-- Kayak Scoresbysund and you will enter a utterly remote arctic fjord system - a world of immense scale and visual grandeur. Far above the Arctic Circle, this huge fjord cuts 350 k.m. into the east coast of Greenland to the ice cap.

Steep mountains rise over 2,000 metres from the sea. Gigantic icebergs overshadow the surrounding hills. The sea is home to narwhals, whales and seals.

Onshore we find musk oxen and the occasional polar bear. We’ll camp beside ancient tent rings and stone walls - evidence of pre European contact Greenlandic Inuit.

Our adventure starts with a 180 km boat trip from the airstrip to our first campsite at Hjornedal - a likely musk oxen site. From here we begin our 2 week kayak trip paddling north past huge icebergs emerging from the Vestfjord. We hope to join the narwhal as they too journey up the fjords. We’ll hike inland discovering musk oxen, arctic hare, arctic fox and ermine. We may meet local Greenlanders fishing for arctic char. We’ll cross the Nord Vest Fjord where vast icebergs set sail from the inland ice cap finally reaching our destination at Sydkap. For this trip you should have some kayak experience and be prepared for the adventure of an expedition in a most remote wilderness.
