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.
|
By boat to the small
settlement Oqaitsut/Rodebay
with a local population of
approx. 40 persons totally
depending upon fishing and
hunting - a quite different
world compared to the nearby

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

persons mainly depending
upon fishing and hunting. A

We sail to the fishing spot of
the day, most probably near
Bredebugt or at the mouth of
the Ilulissat Ice Fiord.
While waiting for our catch
we have time to enjoy the
beautiful surroundings. By
the end of the day we will
hopefully bring home
different sorts of fish like
cod, halibut, redfish and
catfish. |
Ilulissat is sledge-area and
the approx. 3500 dogs in
town are still used for both
work and fun every winter.
We invite you to join the
feeding of a dog team. You
can see, feel, touch and
most of all hear the howling
of 20 hungry dogs. The owner
will demonstrate the sledge
and the harness and tell
about life as a sledge dog
in Greenland. Good shoes
advised!
|
By boat we go out into the
Disko Bay to spot whales. In
the summer time humback
whales come to the Disko Bay
to feed on the capelin, a
small herring-like fish. As
the humback whales are
protected they are very
trusting and can often be
enjoyed at close range.
However, as this is not a
zoo there is of course no
guarantee for seeing the
whales. |

Visit a Greenland home, enjoy
the "Coffee-Mik" (a cup of
coffee which by tradition is
served to all visitors) and
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.
