Go to South Greenland which is famous for its ancient monuments from the Norse settlements in the colorful nature and the blue ice in the fjords. You can easily come to those places by boat from Narsarsuaq, and that’s why you’ll begin your journey from here, in the center of several attractions.
On the tour you’ll get to a place where the name Greenland came to be and used for the first time by the outlaw and notorious viking, Eric the Red, more than a 1000 years ago. Despite of his savage temper he fell in love with Greenland and build his farm in what we know today as Qassiarsuk, which he called Brattahlid. You can visit the open-air museum of the early farm of the Norse (fee not included). The whole history of farming in the Arctic started right there and many of the places where the Norse settled are today the exact same places for modern sheep farmers.
The Norse had their episcopal in present days village Igaliku, which they called Gardar. Because Igaliku is in the bottom of the Igaliku fjord and surrounded by beautiful mountains this place usually gets a bit warmer in the summer, which is why it has the Greenlandic name Igaliku - “The place like a pot”.
You’ll find hundreds of fjords in the whole cost of Greenland with their own characteristics of beauty and soul. But in South Greenland, you can find the unique Qooroq icefjord, which is also located nearby Narsarsuaq. On the tour to Qooroq icefjord you’ll have a fantastic experience and most likely get thousands of pictures of icebergs in all shapes, sizes, and colours. The Qooroq glacier in the fjord calves more than 200.000 tons of ice, every day, and the ice is shaped to beautiful sculptures which only adds to the beauty of the desitantion.
