In the morning you take a flight from Reykjavík to Kulusuk located on Greenland’s beautiful East Coast. The flight takes only 90 minutes and on a clear day you can see icebergs from above.

Today it is time to say good bye to the little town Tasiilaq dominated by the ice cap and steep mountain ranges. In the morning you can stroll for a last time around the city. Everywhere you will see the Greenland dogs which are so important for the locals especially during winter time. A boat brings you from Tasiilaq back to the airport in Kulusuk and you can enjoy once more the huge and impressive icebergs.
