Greenland - The Arctic CircleTrail
The Arctic Circle Trail in Western Greenland is one of the greatest treks to be found anywhere and is the longest waymarked trail in Greenland. With only approx 300 people per annum completing the trail it offers the opportunity to experience Greenland at its very best. Over the course of 165km, the trail weaves its way through remote and magnificent terrain between Kangerlussuaq near the inland icecap and the coastal town of Sisimiut. Making the most of the short Arctic summer, arctic plants abound to produce a stunning backdrop of ever changing colour.
As well as the stunning vistas, there are opportunities to spot wildlife including arctic hare and fox, caribou and birds of prey. Fish and in particular, Arctic Char, abound and can easily be caught from rivers using simple line and spinners. A recent article on the Arctic Circle Trail can be seen here.
