The launch-point for expeditions all over East Greenland and the Icecap
In the heart of the wild and remote East Coast of Greenland, known to the Inuit as Tunu, we operate our Basecamp from the tiny village of Kulusuk. Although some of our expeditions travel in via other routes, many of our trips leave from our back door (or more likely the harbour!). Stunningly located on one of the outermost islands on the coast, rugged mountains, glaciers and fjords surround the settlement. It's not unusual for us to make a lightning ski tour, or a quick paddle out amongst the icebergs when we're back for a short time between our big trips. In fact, there's enough new route potential on the local mountains to keep anyone busy for a long time!
As well as keeping our stores and equipment in Kulusuk (plus several dozen Greenland huskies), we also provide accommodation and the all-important post-expedition showers. After a trip, the village makes for a peaceful place in which to relax and readjust to being back in 'civilisation' again. This time also offers an insight into the tiny Inuit community that lives, often by subsistence hunting, amongst this vast arctic wilderness.
