Hike to the edge of the world's second-largest ice sheet and step onto ancient glacial ice at Point 660 — one of the most viscerally profound experiences on Earth. This is bucket-list Arctic adventure at its most raw and magnificent.
What to expect
A guided trek of roughly 5 hours takes you 15 km into the tundra along the Watson River valley to the ice sheet margin. Once at Point 660, you step onto ice that is up to 3 kilometres deep beneath your feet. Your guide will explain the ice sheet's secrets — meltwater rivers, crevasse formations, and what 2.5 million years of compressed snow looks like up close. The return journey rewards you with sweeping panoramas of the Arctic interior.
Good to know
Tour runs approximately 5 hours — confirm all-aboard time before booking and allow buffer. Wear sturdy waterproof hiking boots and layered clothing; weather changes fast. Pre-book directly via Guide to Greenland well in advance, as small-group slots fill quickly on cruise-call days.
