Greenland's Autumn Wildlife

As the snow starts to lie thicker and thicker on the high mountain tops, Greenland's Arctic foxes and Arctic hares head down to lower levels, for a short window in Autumn, to make the most of easier grazing.

With just enough snow cover to allow us to explore the lower slopes, snowfields, valleys and rapidly forming coastal sea ice of the Jameson Land region, this gives us wonderful photography conditions, and we will make the most of each day in the field searching out Arctic fox, Arctic hare and ptarmigan...not easy to spot in their white winter coats and plumage, but staggeringly beautiful in this high key environment.

Our primary mode of transport will be snowmobile, though we will dismount and approach on foot to get close to most species. Some forays around our base will be primarily on foot, but this will not be strenuous hiking.

We will also make a dedicated day trip into the coastal mountain strip by helicopter to where sizeable herds of musk oxen graze throughout the year.

And of course this is Greenland, so there is always a chance of polar bears too! They are often drawn to this area of the coast searching for their favourite food, seals.

After our core trip is complete there is an option for an additional 2 day trip by boat to Ittoqqortoormiit village to experience authentic Greenlandic Inuit lifestyles and hospitality. At this time of year, before the seas freeze, we also have a chance to spot additional marine species such as minke whale, ring seal and walrus from the boat on the journey through Hurry Fjord into Scoresby Sound Fjord.

Where Exactly Will We Be?

Our expedition begins and ends in Constable Point.

On landing we transfer and settle into our local base for the next week.

The following 6 days will be spent exploring the snowfields and valleys of the Jameson Land region by snowmobile, and on one day by helicopter for musk ox. We will disembark and approach on foot to get close to most species.

There is an option for an additional 2 day trip by boat to Ittoqqortoormiit village to experience authentic Greenlandic Inuit lifestyles and hospitality and the chance of additional species from the boat.

We end our trip back at Constable Point in time to catch our flight out.
