During a walk through town the
guide tells about the history
of Ilulissat. We visit the old
part of town and see buildings
from the very start of the
Danish trading station, the
busy fishing harbour, the old
church and the museum. Lunch
at a local restaurant. |
By bus as far as the road
goes. A beautiful walk along
the UNESCO designated
Ilulissat Ice Fiord to
Sermermiut where traces from
the 3 old Eskimo cultures
still can be seen. Sermermiut
is a fertile valley next to
the Ice Fiord; here you can
enjoy the flowers as well as
the fantastic icebergs.

before we will enjoy lunch
at the old trading station. |

Visit a Greenland home, enjoy
the "Coffee-Mik" (a cup of
coffee which by tradition is

learn about Greenland and its
population. |
Eqip glacier is the only
glacier in the Ilulissat area
where we often experience a
glacier calving. We cruise in
front of the 5 km wide glacier
- enjoying our lunch - and
hope for the unique sight of
an iceberg “delivery” - so are
also a lot of seabirds as they
know by experience, that any
calving from the glacier will
result in a huge meal, when
the new iceberg is turning
around in the water bringing a
lot of sea animals to the
surface.
