The \"What do we do if...\" scenarios ranged from an encounter with a polar bear, capsizing, and various injuries to the loss of equipment or even a kayak. We were prepared for everything. That's what we thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What we hadn't expected was the glassy sea in the mornings and plenty of sunshine. We were sweating in our dry suits and preferred to put on a bit more sunscreen instead of a hat and gloves. Nor did we expect to be offered fresh seal liver by a seal catcher or to be woken up one morning by the roar of a helicopter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"844\" data-attachment-id=\"15595\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/en\/groenland-kajaktour\/kayak-greenland-16\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/kayak-greenland-16.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1500,844\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Mareike Schadach&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 12 Pro&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1659262088&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Mareike Schadach&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.2&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;32&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00025641025641&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"kayak-greenland-16\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/kayak-greenland-16-300x169.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/kayak-greenland-16-1024x576.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/kayak-greenland-16.jpg\" alt=\"Gr\u00f6nland Kajaktour \u2013 Paddeln in einem Meer aus Eisbergen\" class=\"wp-image-15595\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/kayak-greenland-16.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/kayak-greenland-16-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/kayak-greenland-16-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/kayak-greenland-16-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/kayak-greenland-16-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/kayak-greenland-16-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/kayak-greenland-16-1068x601.jpg 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In the morning, the water was often as smooth as glass.

With just under 1,400 inhabitants, Narsaq is the second-largest town in the municipality of Kujalleq. The fjords here are particularly beautiful for paddling, as there are more icebergs here than anywhere else. Most of the ice comes from the Eqaloruutsit glacier, around 60 kilometers away, and drifts west towards the open sea. The branching fjords, steep banks, and many islands make this a beautiful and relatively sheltered paddling area for experienced paddlers and outdoor enthusiasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" data-attachment-id=\"15577\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/en\/groenland-kajaktour\/pxl_20220723_142603481\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20220723_142603481.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1500,1000\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Mareike Schadach&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"PXL_20220723_142603481\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20220723_142603481-300x200.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20220723_142603481-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20220723_142603481.jpg\" alt=\"Gr\u00f6nland Kajaktour Luftbild\" class=\"wp-image-15577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20220723_142603481.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20220723_142603481-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20220723_142603481-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20220723_142603481-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20220723_142603481-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20220723_142603481-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20220723_142603481-1068x712.jpg 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Our paddling area from the airplane.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" data-attachment-id=\"15576\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/en\/groenland-kajaktour\/pxl_20220723_144241114\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20220723_144241114.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1500,1000\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Mareike Schadach&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"PXL_20220723_144241114\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20220723_144241114-300x200.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20220723_144241114-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20220723_144241114.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20220723_144241114.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20220723_144241114-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20220723_144241114-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20220723_144241114-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20220723_144241114-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20220723_144241114-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20220723_144241114-1068x712.jpg 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The area around Narsaq is particularly beautiful for a sea kayak tour because of the many icebergs.

We continue by water cab to Narsaq, about 50 kilometers away. But as the saying goes? All beginnings are hard...

There is no beach or shallow jetty within easy reach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only in the second bay after that is a small beach, a sports boat jetty, and a supermarket where we buy the rest of our provisions. After what feels like an eternity, all our luggage is finally stowed in the kayaks. Before we set off, we take a break and treat ourselves to a coffee and one of those delicious pastries in the supermarket. Then we finally set off. At that moment, we wouldn't have believed that we'd be back here in the supermarket the next day, drinking another coffee and eating another Danish pastry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" data-attachment-id=\"15571\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/en\/groenland-kajaktour\/a7403421\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403421.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1500,1000\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Mareike Schadach&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"A7403421\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403421-300x200.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403421-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403421.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15571\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403421.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403421-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403421-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403421-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403421-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403421-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403421-1068x712.jpg 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Narsaq was the starting point for our seven-day kayak tour.

I opt for spaghetti and look forward to the hot meal. I quickly unpack the cooking utensils and want to screw the stove onto the gas cartridge. Irritated, I look at the cartridge and try again. But it doesn't help. The stove doesn't fit on the cartridge, and redundancy doesn't help if you have the same stove attachment and the same gas cartridge with you twice. Not all screw threads are the same. Even if the difference is only a fraction of a millimeter and invisible to the eye. The kitchen remains cold that evening. The next morning we paddle back to Narsaq and pray to all the old and new gods that we can get suitable gas cartridges from the supermarket. We are lucky. To be on the safe side this time, I try out both cartridges with both stoves. After all, it's not just our hot meals that depend on the stove working, but also our drinking water. We melt it from the glacier ice floating on the water. This is pure fresh water. It is so pure that we even add extra electrolyte powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" data-attachment-id=\"15573\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/en\/groenland-kajaktour\/a7403583-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403583.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1500,1000\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Mareike Schadach&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"A7403583\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403583-300x200.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403583-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403583.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15573\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403583.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403583-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403583-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403583-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403583-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403583-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403583-1068x712.jpg 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Our camp on the first and last evening.

We have already used up our bad weather buffer day on the second day of our tour. I'm frustrated and fear that we won't reach our destination, the Qaleraliq glacier, at all. At the end of July, it is still light for a long time here in South Greenland. However, paddling times are often limited due to the tidal current and stronger winds in the afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But when we arrive back at our camp from the previous night in the afternoon, the paddling conditions are so good that we immediately attempt the four-kilometer crossing of the Bredefjord. The weather is also kind to us on the following days, so that we make much faster progress than expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" data-attachment-id=\"15581\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/en\/groenland-kajaktour\/a7403791\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403791.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1500,1000\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Mareike Schadach&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"A7403791\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403791-300x200.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403791-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403791.jpg\" alt=\"Gr\u00f6nland Kajaktour \u2013  Camp\" class=\"wp-image-15581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403791.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403791-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403791-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403791-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403791-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403791-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403791-1068x712.jpg 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The tidal range is around three meters.

The weather is always better than forecast. However, due to the high mountains, the branching fjords, and the strong sunlight, the conditions in each fjord change over the course of the day. In the morning, the water is often as smooth as glass. The sun then causes local balancing winds to set in around midday, which become stronger and stronger during the afternoon and subside again in the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I check the barometer three times a day and observe the clouds in the sky throughout the day. Every day, cirrus clouds form, which usually indicate a change in the weather within the next two days. But the air pressure remains constantly high.

South-north expeditions to the Greenlandic ice sheet used to start from here. Today, Qaleraliq Camp offers Arctic comfort with a view of the remains of the glacier front. Due to global warming, the glacier has retreated considerably, splitting into three smaller glacier tongues. Only two of them still calve icebergs into the water. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the camp is closed in the summer of 2022 and we pitch our tent on a neighboring hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next morning, I listen contentedly to the calls of the seabirds. But suddenly a loud engine roars in my ears. A cruise ship has anchored in front of our camp and started flying its guests over the Qaleraliq Glacier by helicopter. It's time to get up. I'm amazed at how quickly we break camp this time and load our kayaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"988\" data-attachment-id=\"15568\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/en\/groenland-kajaktour\/a7404379\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7404379.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1500,988\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Mareike Schadach&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"A7404379\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7404379-300x198.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7404379-1024x674.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7404379.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15568\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7404379.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7404379-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7404379-1024x674.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7404379-768x506.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7404379-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7404379-696x458.jpg 696w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7404379-1068x703.jpg 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">At the end of the Qalerallit Imaa Fjord, the Qaleraliq Glacier<strong> <\/strong>marks the beginning of Greenland's ice cap, which covers around 80 percent of the country.

In addition to the risk of getting our feet wet from icebergs tipping over in the tent, we also have to take into account a tidal range of around three meters. Although there is a rough map of the area, the nature of the shoreline and its suitability for entry and exit are not recognizable. Instead, I analyzed satellite images to plan my route and used Google Earth to create my own map for our kayak tour in Greenland. I marked possible places to land or camp in color. I planned our daily sections with lengths of 20 to 25 kilometers, knowing full well that the weather could quickly throw a spanner in the works. The only thing we couldn't use was a planned camp at the foot of a mountain, as the risk of falling rocks was too high. It was going to be a long day of paddling. We had to paddle several kilometers to the next suitable spot. What's more, we had previously taken too long a break and now had to paddle against the tidal current in choppy water. We were cursing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" data-attachment-id=\"15572\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/en\/groenland-kajaktour\/pxl_20220729_164224875-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20220729_164224875-2.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1500,1000\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Mareike Schadach&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"PXL_20220729_164224875-2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20220729_164224875-2-300x200.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20220729_164224875-2-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20220729_164224875-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20220729_164224875-2.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20220729_164224875-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20220729_164224875-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20220729_164224875-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20220729_164224875-2-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20220729_164224875-2-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20220729_164224875-2-1068x712.jpg 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The maps available were not detailed enough for a kayak tour.

Something dark flits across the stones next to me. At first, I thought it was one of the many ravens, but it doesn't fly away. The animal remains like a mere shadow in the not-quite-dark night. Slowly, I recognize a small head watching me. Then I see the elongated body and the bushy tail. I carefully turn around to get a better look at the little Arctic fox. We look at each other for a moment, then he runs off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wait a moment to see if the little fox might appear again. Meanwhile, my gaze wanders over the Bredefjord. The icebergs are at their largest directly in front of our camp. In my mind, I can see two yellow kayaks gliding between the countless icebergs. I walk back to the tent with a smile on my face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"980\" data-attachment-id=\"15575\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/en\/groenland-kajaktour\/a7403585\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403585.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1500,980\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Mareike Schadach&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"A7403585\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403585-300x196.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403585-1024x669.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403585.jpg\" alt=\"Gr\u00f6nland Kajaktour \u2013  Eisberge im Sonnenuntergang\" class=\"wp-image-15575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403585.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403585-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403585-1024x669.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403585-768x502.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403585-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403585-696x455.jpg 696w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A7403585-1068x698.jpg 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">On the first evening of our kayak tour, we pitched our tent on the shore of the Bredefjord and had a clear view of a colorful sunset.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/en\/shop\/\">Shop <strong>Prints + Calendars<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tipps\">Book Recommendations for Greenland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You want to know where the journey goes?
