Combination tour: Point 660 & Russell glacier | Kangerlussuaq
Join a combination tour visiting 2 bucket list places in Kangerlussuaq: Point 660 and Russell Glacier.
At Point 660 you will find the most scenic view imaginable of the Icecap slowly descending into the colorful newly ice-free tundra and step on the ice sheet!
At the Russell glacier you will get the chance to come up close and personal with the 60 metre tall face of the Russell Glacier.
On the route to Point 660 and Russell glacier, you might be lucky to spot one of the many wildlife from the car, you will also have the possibility to have a short stop and snap a picture!
When you and your fellow explorers arrive at Point 660, breathe in the fresh air and gaze upon the enchanting and mythical Greenland Icecap, that ranges as far as the eye can see. The dirt road goes right up to the vast and majestic inland ice, giving you an excellent chance to explore it with your feet on the ice.
After that, we will head to the Russell glacier. Once at the glacier, we will get as close as safety allows. Remember that glacier faces are notoriously unstable and unpredictable, so you should never walk all the way up to it. We will listen to the running water, the cracking ice and, if you are very, very lucky, seeing part of the glacier break off and tumble into the meltwater river at its base.
See the much you can in Kangerlussuaq in a short period. It is perfect if you have limited time and you want to see as much as you can!

Guide was very nice and knowledgeable. He offered to make a few extra stops, e.g. stop by sled dogs. He prepared coffee and sandwiches for a small snack which was cool. I had a good time!

It was the end of March when I had this tour and we had so much fun! The guide was very friendly, replying all the questions we had, and it has been delightful to step on the Icecap!

That is amazing tour you must do in Kangerlussuaq!
With a short stop over in Kangerlussuaq we were able to do both of the tours Russell glacier and see Point 660. We saw Musk ox and raindeer on the way and stop to take pictures as well! Loved our local guide and flexibility of this tour.

Excellent mission.
We were a bit worried initially when our guide wasn’t at the airport occasioning much panicked phone calls and e-mails on our part. However, he did find us and we had a superb drive out to the ice-cap and the glacier topped off with a bacon and egg sandwich and a bonus Northern lights on the way back.
Thank you for our guide!

A very intimate and fantastic trip with just us (2persons) and our guide Eval. Lots of info on the landscape and good talks about Greenland – very recommendable.

Fantastisk tur. Vores guide, Ewald var så velvidende, sjov og behagelig. En tur der virkelig kan anbefales. Hvis man laver et stop i lufthavnen i 4 timer inden afgang til næste by, er der fin tid til denne tur. 5 stjerner herfra.

We really enjoyed our 3 hours trip with to Point 660 at the end of August. Very informative guide and an excellent driver. We still enjoy all the great pictures the guide took of us and the glacier. Highly recommended! Best wishes from Switzerland, Daniel and Martina

My parents and I had a great trip to Point 660 with a wonderful guide! A nice person, who really made the trip a great experience. The trip up to Point 660 is just as great as the actual ice cap. All in all a trip we’d highly recommend 🙂

I met my guide right after my flight from Copenhagen and I had a very good time driving carefully with the new snow through a fantastic landscape, with a rendeer even, and walking on the ice shield. Blue ice as it is. The guide had brought sandwiches, tea and coffee for a break which was wonderful after the long flight. And I had every chance to take photos of the most awsome sceneries. Thank you so much also for all the information on rocks and glaciers in Kangerlussuaq!
