Expeditions
Every departure is capped at eight. We run each route once a month while the light and the ice allow it, and we cancel — with a full refund — when the glacier says no.
Ice cap crossing
Fourteen days, 180 km on skis hauling your own pulk from the east coast to the fjord. No huts. No shortcuts.
