Trekking in Greenland (Grenlandia) The Arctic Circle Trail by Paddy Dillon
The Arctic Circle Trail is the longest waymarked trail in Greenland, and runs from Kangerlussuaq to Sisimiut – both with airport access. It traverses remote, empty, silent and stunningly scenic arctic tundra. There are excellent opportunities to see animals, birds and wild flowers and enjoy the use of free canoes and simple, free huts for shelter. Greenland is the largest island on Earth and one of the most sparsely populated regions on the planet and the bulk of it lies north of the Arctic Circle. 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 West Greenland and is an excellent way to experience this unique wilderness. This guide offers all the information experienced backpackers will need to walk this waymarked route, with its even spread of free huts (and canoes!) along the way.
includes an optional extension to the ice cap and ascent of two nearby summits,  illustrated with detailed HARVEY map extracts and colour photography,  with town plans of Sisimiut and Kangerlussuaq.     Contents:   Introduction Geology The ice cap Wildlife Plants and flowers History Culture Travelling to Greenland When to go Accommodation Health and safety Food, drink and fuel Language Money Communications Trekking in Greenland River Crossing What to take Waymarking and access Maps Emergencies Using this guide Postscript The Arctic Circle Trail Kangerlussuaq Preamble – Ascent of Sugar Loaf Optional Extension – Ice Cap to Kangerlussuaq Day 1 Kangerlussuaq to Hundesø Day 2 Hundesø to Katiffik Day 3 Katiffik to Canoe Centre Day 4 Canoe Centre to Ikkattooq Day 5 Ikkattooq to Eqalugaarniarfik Day 6 Eqalugaarniarfik to Innajuattoq Day 7 Innajuattoq to Nerumaq Day 8 Nerumaq to Kangerluarsuk Tulleq Day 9 Kangerluarsuk Tulleq to Sisimiut Sisimiut Post-amble – Ascent of Kællingehætten APPENDIX 1 Route summary table APPENDIX 2 Language notes and glossary APPENDIX 3 Useful contact
