Icecamp Greenland – it all started with the right location
Protected from the mighty Piteraq (storms from the ice sheet), clean drinking water (note: absolutely fantastic water quality!), accessibility by boat in summer and dog sleds in winter, a little phone reception – which saves expensive calls with the satellite phone and last but not least the view and all the ice you can wish in reach. The location of the ice camp could not be better.
Location / GPS: East Greenland, Ukîverajik,

And so, a number of other huts
… were quickly added to the one hunting hut that already existed here. Of course, the conditions to build something here are anything but ordinary. Logistics and infrastructure pose special challenges in such a remote place.
This is one of the reasons
… why we were so proud to finally welcome the first guests to the camp in summer 2019 – after three years of construction.
But as we all know, the 2020 season was then slowed down by the global pandemic, and the 2021 season also failed due to a lack of predictability.
Finally, in summer 2022
… we could get started. Already during the construction phase, we explored the area and scouted out the most beautiful areas, hikes and boat routes.
Now we would like to show you the beauty of the arctic nature.
The Icecamp welcomes you!

Services
The Icecamp offers you the complete service for a relaxed stay. This means we organize pick-up at the airport in Kulusuk, you will find bed linen and towels in your cabins, we ensure that there is always enough food and drinks at the camp, as well as consumables and fuel for the generator, heaters and the camp’s own boats.
Usually, breakfast and a hot evening meal are served, while lunchtimes are light food, or provisions are taken for the day trips and often we eat at a scenic landing site.
The type of the meals can also be adjusted/ordered on request. Food intolerances and allergies should always be communicated before the start of the trip.
Many trips are planned and managed by our partners and travel agencies. We ask for your understanding that we are often not able to answer questions in detail for these trips.
