Ilulissat Icefjord stretches over 70 kilometers from the massive Sermeq Kujalleq glacier to the Disko Bay. This glacier is one of the most productive in the Northern Hemisphere, releasing vast amounts of ice into the fjord every day. The result is a constantly changing seascape of majestic icebergs, silently floating toward the open sea.
There are many ways to explore Ilulissat Icefjord. Hiking trails from the town lead to stunning viewpoints where you can stand in silence and the in the sheer scale and beauty of the ice. Join a boat tour to get close to the towering icebergs - a magical experience. Or row through the bay in a kayak to experience the majestic icebergs from a distance and paddle among the smaller ones drifting in the fjord. The different ways to experience the Icefjord are all truly unique, each offering its own perspective on this vast and impressive area.
No matter how you choose to experience Ilulissat Icefjord, one thing is certain: it will leave a lasting impression.
