At just over 100 miles long, and taking 7 to 10 days to complete, the Arctic Circle Trail crosses the largest ice-free patch of western Greenland. This splendid trekking route, lying 25-30 miles north of the Arctic Circle runs from Kangerlussuaq to Sisimiut (both of which have airport access). The trail traverses remote, empty, silent and stunningly scenic arctic tundra, and is mostly gently graded with just a few short, steep and rocky slopes. This is an extremely remote area and those who choose to take on this route must be completely self-sufficient.
This guide includes plenty of practical information on what to take with you and when to go, as well as on safety, travel and accommodation.
Fully illustrated with a good variety of photographs and all the required trekking maps. The guide also includes an optional extension to the Greenlandic ice cap.
