Now scheduling 2005 Greenland adventure tours - reserve your spot today

Most of the collecting areas are rocky and “friable” - the brittle alkaline rock geology simply doesn’t allow any plant life to grab a foothold - thus very little vegetation, no trees. Greenland is a remote country with little vegetation, lots of ice, and vast untouched areas. Areas are isolated, lonely, and vast. You will find rare minerals, rarely see another person, and this will be among the best adventure tours of your lifetime. The following pages offer a glimpse into a trip to Southern Greenland and the Ilimaussaq Complex.

Reserve Early! Seats fill up fast, and are usually booked by February - so reserve now

The pictures on these pages represent the most typical scenery you will encounter during our Greenland Geo Adventure Tours - water and icebergs, mountains and rocks. If you’re a rock collector, this is paradise. If you’re looking for green hiking trails, polar bears, and reindeer - Southern Greenland is not the place to go.

Helpful hints are included for getting there, what to pack, how to get around, maps, as well as our tour pricing:
