Combine two of Greenland's most dramatic glacial landmarks in a single extraordinary day — the thundering face of Russell Glacier and the vast silence of the ice sheet. This is Greenland's greatest landscape double-header.
What to expect
Departing Kangerlussuaq, you reach Russell Glacier — Greenland's most accessible outlet glacier — in under an hour. Stand at the face of a wall of blue-white ice that stretches nearly 100 metres high, listening to it crack and groan. The tour then continues deeper into the ice margin at Point 660, where you walk on the ice sheet itself. Seven hours of pure Arctic immersion, bookended by spectacular tundra scenery.
Good to know
Approximately 7 hours total — this is the longest shore excursion option, so confirm your ship's all-aboard time meticulously. Sturdy waterproof footwear essential. Book directly via Guide to Greenland; private group hire is available for those who prefer exclusive access.
