Ivan - Founder & Lead Guide
I moved to Greenland from Russia in 2007. Prior to this, I have extensive experience working as an engineer on fishing vessels. I fell in love with Greenland after arriving here. After exploring this country immensely over the years, I founded Greenland Backcountry to show these magnificent landscapes to people.
Originally from Russia, I thought myself acquainted with the arctic. As I’ve lived here, I learned that this country is truly full of surprises. With the ice-filled landscape constantly shifting and changing, what you see one day can be entirely different to the next.
After spending many years exploring Greenland on snow and water, I learned about the fascinating dynamism of this landscape. Now, I’m ready to show this country to the world. I am a trained adventure guide and Wilderness First Responder. Get in touch, let’s go exploring
