Ilulissat is located north of the Arctic Circle by the world-famous Icefjord, a UNESCO world natural heritage site. Every year, more than 48 square kilometres of ice break off from the glacier and drift into the fjord, forming enormous floating icebergs that shimmer in the Arctic sunlight.
On an Icefjord sailing trip, you’ll glide silently among these giants, some rising over 100 metres above sea level and displaying dazzling shades of blue and white. The experience changes with every season and every hour of the day — from the soft golden hues of the midnight sun to the deep Arctic twilight. This is an unforgettable encounter with nature’s raw power and beauty — and a must-do when visiting Ilulissat.
The team at Hotel SØMA Ilulissat – First Partner will be happy to help you arrange your sailing trip and share local tips for other unique Arctic experiences.
