THE PROGRAMME
The expedition will last for 11 days and take you to the heart of the high Arctic's most secret places, guided by local people from the small village of Kullorsuaq, the only one in the bay.
The first expedition will take place on 2 March 2022 so that we can make the most of the best possible sea ice and the sun’s arrival.
We will start from the small village of Kullorsuaq to get to the Melville Bay nature reserve.
To travel, we will use the only permitted means of transport: the traditional Greenlandic sledge.
