You will be delivered by a 1 hr 40 min prop plane flight over the ice of the Denmark Strait to the gravel strip on Kulusuk Island. We’ll meet you there and walk 40 minutes over tundra to the lodge. All gear will be delivered by ATV as we walk a short distance to the lodge. Tonight we will have a fully catered group dinner, then overnight at the lodge.

A boat journey of around 2 hours north through the fjords to reach the start of our route in Tasiilap Kua, a deep, narrow fjord with the granite spires of the Fox’s Jaw towering in the distance to the north. From the shore, we’ll make our way up a-valley following a braided river, before either making a short crossing of the smooth, pitted surface of a ‘dry’ glacier (no crampons required) or skirting the flank of the glacier using the morraine on the valleyside. Our line follows the banks of a stream between steep mountains to reach the alluvial tidal flats of Tunu and the evening’s camp.

Over the next days, we’ll trace Ikateq fjord’s shoreline, exploring tundra, finding our way over streams, and passing by the remains of a WWII-era American runway. As the team treks between camps, our baggage will be transported by boat to a pre-arranged point on the shoreline, where we’ll collect it and establish camp in the
late afternoon.

Same as Day 3

From our camp above the sand beaches of Nunartivaq, our route gains 700m on a traverse to the upper reaches of Sermiligaq fjord. From our highpoint, we look out over multiple tidewater glaciers, the high peaks of the Caledonian Alps and the fjord extending out to sea.

Icebergs, calved from the Karale and other unnamed glaciers in view, drift on the tide past our shoreside campsite. In the morning, we take a boat across the fjord, pushing through the ice-laden waters to start the day’s trek in sight of the huge Knud Rasmussen glacier. Heading north, we’ll pick our way intricately along the coast toward the glacier, with the aim of establishing camp for the night in a position looking out over the calving face. It important to note that today's distance and elevation gain will depend on the high point we choose to take.

Today we will take a short walk to within a stone’s throw of the ice, an awe-inspiring viewpoint to take in the vast scale of the glacier and to look out for icebergs calving. Later on, our boats will collect us for the journey back to the lodge and one night there. On the way back, we may have time to do some fishing for our dinner
that evening.

After breakfast, return to the airstrip to meet the flight to Iceland.
