GREENLAND · A SNEAK PEEK

Hunting Greenland’s untamed wilderness.

A family-run Inuit outfit has guided hunters in West Greenland since 1996, from a camp near the Arctic Circle right in the heart of musk ox country, just off the edge of the Greenland ice cap.

THE HUNTS

The seasons

Spring: March & April

Spring hunts come at the end of Greenland’s winter, with longer days and exceptional hunting across the Arctic wilderness. Musk ox wear their thick, beautiful winter coats, and the frozen landscape makes it easier to reach remote country.

Add small game to the trip: ptarmigan, Arctic hare and Arctic fox. It’s a perfect blend of adventure and natural beauty.

King eider

Greenland is one of the few places in the world where you can hunt the magnificent king eider. Hunts run in March and April, the perfect time to pair a king eider with a musk ox for the ultimate Arctic trip.

Fall: August to October

Fall brings vibrant colors, fresh Arctic air and rivers running with cold drinking water.

August is the last month of summer and one of the warmest for hunting. Both musk ox and caribou are open, and caribou are still in velvet. They start losing it in the last week of August, so September, with its comfortable early-fall weather, is ideal for a musk ox and caribou combo. October turns colder with occasional light snow, and it’s still a great month for combo hunts.

WHERE YOU’LL STAY

Two cabins by an ice-cap lake

Camp is two cabins set against a mountain, looking out over a lake with fresh drinking water straight from the ice cap. The brown lodge cabin is for meals and gathering, and the guest cabin sleeps up to six hunters in four rooms, each with two single beds.

Your hosts were raised in Greenlandic culture and share it gladly, from the hunting to the stories around the table. On clear nights, the northern lights put on a show over camp.
