IN SPRING OR FALL?
NEWS REGARDING PRICE 2025
We have not been able to provide a price for our Greenland Crossings 2025. The reason is that they are implementing a new Tourist Law. There has been a lot of pushback, so we do not yet know how it will impact us at Ousland.
However, on the positive side, we had an excellent dialogue with the Greenland authorities. They have been super positive and helpful, and we will go over to Nuuk for a meeting with them on the 7th of November.
Our hope is that we will find a platform for us and that you, by mid-November, shall have confirmed prices.
It may seem a bit chaotic, but we consider it a great way to modernize the expedition application rules in Greenland. The problem they have is that today's system is based on the old Danish setup from the 1980s.
CHOOSE CAREFULLY
Here, you have to make a choice. Both seasons are fabulous and life-changing experiences, but they are very different. Normally, we say that the fall is much more varied, throws up surprises, and is harder both physically and mentally. Those who have their sights set on other / bigger goals tend to end up in the fall.
Read carefully below and contact us before making your final choice.
HERE IS YOUR 3 OPTIONS:
GREENLAND CLASSIC
WEST TO EAST IN MAY
Most choose May. It is a great time of the year, you will normally find geat conditions, lots of snow and hardly any crevasses. Starting from west, where logistics are better, there is no delays and you can focus on the long, epic Icecap Crossing. As we cross the Polar Circle along the way the 24 hour daylight create the most positive suroundings you can get!
GREENLAND NANSEN
EAST TO WEST, COAST TO COAST, IN AUGUST-SEPTEMBER
This one is longer, harder, even more varied - but also more expensive. Here, you don’t cross the Icecap; you cross Greenland.
We start out in the Isortoq area but then head for the rarely visited DYE III before tagging on the Nansens Route from 1888. We fight through the same icefall he did, then follow in his footsteps (yes, on foot) down the Austmanadalen to the fjord - and end up in Nuuk.
GREENLAND FALL
EAST TO WEST IN AUGUST-SEPTEMBER
The end of season crossing is very different. The crevasse- and ice-fields will be open and exposed. As summer becomes fall and winter is looming, we must expect big storms and the nights turn dark - but that will give us some stunning twilight. It takes longer, you have to prepare better so fall is often chosen by those who have bigger fish to fry later on…
