East Greenland

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

East Greenland is one of the most remote and sparsely populated regions on Earth, stretching along the island's rugged Arctic coastline and dominated by vast glaciers, fjords, and the Greenland Ice Sheet. The area is best known for Scoresby Sund, the world's largest fjord system, as well as dramatic peaks like those in the Renland and Liverpool Land ranges. Travellers come for expedition-style adventures including iceberg kayaking, dog sledding, ski touring, and wildlife encounters with musk oxen, Arctic foxes, and polar bears. Ittoqqortoormiit is the only significant settlement, giving the region an extreme sense of wilderness and isolation that draws serious adventurers and polar explorers.

Self-Launched Hiking East Greenland: Glaciers, Fjords & Inuit Culture

East Greenland is one of the world's most remote and jaw-dropping hiking destinations — and you don't need a premium group tour to experience it. This self-launched 5-day itinerary follows the same stunning route from Kulusuk through the Apusiaajik Glacier, the Ikaasatisivaq strait, and up to the Sermilik ice fjord ridge, using local boats, independent camping, and community guesthouses. Greenland is never cheap to reach, but cutting out the operator markup saves you a significant sum. Fly into Kulusuk via Nuuk or Reykjavik, pack your own camping gear, and prepare for one of the most extraordinary wilderness adventures on Earth. All cost estimates are approximate and per person.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for East Greenland yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
