Okay, today I smuggled a few photos from our journey to Ilulissat for the tour. The drive through the cracking ice was just too spectacular. Apparently it wasn't the sweat of fear that motivated some to take a bath 🥶 The hike on the Icefjord has long been one of my dream destinations ... and now I know why.

Very well marked hike with blue markings. The beginning is less interesting, but as soon as it is possible to see the sea and the icebergs the view is really impressive
