GREENLAND 2026

Greenland authorities are finally doing something to the very old-fashioned rules and system implemented for expeditions on Greenland by the Danes before Greenland took over itself.

Their new tourist law, which was voted through late this fall, is up and running from January 1st 2025. That has created some uncertainties and confusion as to how we, as foreign companies, should both run, insure, and price our crossings.

But, the authorities are now 100% behind us returning and wish us very welcome.

Everything is now falling into place, and we believe we understand how to both run and price our trips.

As you will be aware, the prices have gone up to accommodate new rules for SAR & insurances - and for the Greenland government, safeguarding it does not end up with costs related to problems with the expedition.

Let’s GOOOOOOOO!!!!

CHOOSE CAREFULLY

Here, you have to make a choice. Both seasons are fabulous and life-changing experiences, but they are very different. Normally, we say that the fall is much more varied, throws up surprises, and is harder both physically and mentally. Those who have their sights set on other / bigger goals tend to end up in the fall.
Read carefully below and contact us before making your final choice.

HERE ARE YOUR 3 OPTIONS:

CROSSING GREENLAND IN SPRING OR FALL?

GREENLAND CLASSIC

WEST TO EAST IN MAY

Most choose May. It is a great time of the year. You will normally find great conditions, lots of snow and hardly any crevasses. Starting from west, where logistics are better, there is no delays and you can focus on the long, epic Icecap Crossing. As we cross the Polar Circle along the way the 24 hours daylight create the most positive suroundings you can get!

GREENLAND FALL

EAST TO WEST IN AUGUST-SEPTEMBER

The end of season crossing is very different. The crevasses and ice-fields will be open and exposed. As summer becomes fall and winter is looming, we must expect big storms and the nights are turning dark - but that will give us some stunning twilight. It takes longer, you have to prepare better so fall is often chosen by those who have bigger fish to fry later on…

will you brave the fall?

GREENLAND NANSEN

EAST TO WEST, COAST TO COAST, IN AUGUST-SEPTEMBER

This one is longer, harder, even more varied - but also more expensive. Here, you don’t cross the Icecap; you cross Greenland.
We start out in the Isortoq area but then head for the rarely visited DYE III before tagging on the Nansens Route from 1888. We fight through the same icefall Fritjof did, then follow in his footsteps (yes, on foot) down the Austmanadalen to the fjord - and end up in Nuuk.
