Kangerlussuaq is situated only 40 kilometers from the immense Greenland Ice Cap. This indescribable icy waste land stretches 2,500 kilometers from North to South and nearly 1000 kilometers from East to West at the widest part of the country.
The tallest point of the Ice Cap is 3,200 meters above sea level. The road to the Ice Cap goes through a wide variety of the most beautiful natural scenery from Arctic desert to tundra with low growing shrubs, and through hilly terrain with a grand view of the edge of the Ice Cap. Stop for coffee/ tea and the most magnificent view of the Ice Cap. You will have approximately one hour to enjoy the unspoiled tundra vegetation and walk down to the river just next to the massive ice wall.
Note: Part of the bus ride is off-road and the drive normally takes about 1 hour each way. Please note that part of the road can be quite bumpy. We do not recommend that excursion for guests with back problems.
