Snapping ice, growling glaciers and the howl of sled dogs: all sounds we will hear as we enter the Ilulissat harbour in the shadow of the nearby ice cap.
Exploring town reveals why this stop is a favourite for visitors from all over the world. Venturing a little further out of town on the tundra to the hills beyond rewards the wanderer with spectacular views of the Jacobshavn icefield. Icebergs calving from this field travel as far south as New York.
A Zodiac cruse in among the bergs is the highlight of our visit here.
