Location & Journey to Camp Itivi

Nestled at the far end of Nuuk Fjord, close to the edge of the Greenland Ice Sheet, Camp Itivi sits sheltered by mountains on three sides—with a wide-open view of drifting icebergs passing just outside the camp. Carried by the tides, large icebergs slowly glide past while smaller pieces wash ashore at low tide, creating a new, breathtaking view every morning.

This is where the Inuit once paddled in their kayaks on hunting trips, and later the Norse settlers followed the same route to cross the narrowest point of the mountain ridge – “Itivi,” the traditional crossing place.

The experience begins as soon as you enter the fjord: guests travel by open boat wearing survival suits, ski goggles, and life vests—a conscious choice to bring you as close to nature as possible.

Along the way, you’ll pass waterfalls cascading down the cliffs, floating icebergs, and a rich birdlife. If you’re lucky, you might spot seals or even whales. The captain is always ready to point out the hidden wonders – whether it’s a seal diving quickly below the surface or an eagle soaring high above its nest.
