Ilulissat’s Yellow Trail offers a stunning hike through Arctic landscapes, with panoramic views of icebergs drifting in Disko Bay. The path winds over rugged granite, revealing towering glaciers, vibrant tundra flora, and occasional humpback whales.

We hiked the Kuannit trail at dawn. Near the end of the trail, jagged volcanic rocks created a prehistoric feel, unlike other parts of Greenland, as if stepping into the Jurassic era.

As we dined by the bay, fog rolled in, swallowing the harbor. I wandered alone into a vast, silent tundra. From the rocky shore, the colorful houses stood against the Arctic night, icebergs drifting beyond.

Crossing Disko Bay, our boat slowly navigated past icebergs of various shapes before finally arriving at Qeqertarsuaq. Tranquil and picturesque, Disko Island is a place where time seems to stand still.

On our first day in Ilulissat, we took an evening boat tour to see the icebergs. The glacier in Ilulissat moves rapidly and is the most active in iceberg calving outside of Antarctica. The massive icebergs, reaching one to two kilometers in length, take on various shapes and are truly awe-inspiring.

After a stopover in Iceland, we finally arrived in Ilulissat, located on the west side of Greenland. We were greeted by glaciers on the sea, wildflowers by the shore, and delicious food at the hotel.
