Meet the Greenlandic sled dogs! 🐶 

In Greenland, you will find only one type of sled dog — The Greenland dog. It is one of the purest and most isolated dog breeds in the world because it is not allowed to mix the Greenland dog with other dog breeds. 

Their closest relatives are wolves, which means they are certainly not lap dogs. The Greenlandic sled dog is considered to be strong and tough when used as a working dog. 

If you ever get the chance to try riding a dog sled — GO FOR IT! As it is an amazing experience. Especially here in Ilulissat 🤫🤭

Same place — 3 days apart! 😳 The ice in the ocean is slowly opening up, which means we will soon set sail and explore the icebergs up close by boat! Who wants to come with us? 🚤 😎

Absolutely perfect day trip to eqi glacier with Ivan. We spend a lit longer at the stunning glacier than planned, and because we had time for it and would love to see more of the coastline, we did a lot of detours to explore the coastline on the way back. Ivan is a great guide and super friendly, the trip in the boat really lets you experience the impressing scale og nature.Safety was a top priority, the boat modern and had all possile saftey features and Ivan clearly new how to navigate safely that made it so easy to relax and enjoy. Would definitely choose greenland backcountry again!

Greenland and especially Ilulissat was just surreal and out of this world. Ivan made the experience much more enriched with his familiarity and his positive attitude and wit. Thank you

I went for a whale sightseeing trip and it was fantastic! The guide told us many interesting facts about Greenland, the boat had excellent safety equipment and we spent amazing time searching for whales. And we did find some! The guide was very friendly and helpful arranging what I needed. Outstanding service.
