Greenland Sea Kayak Expedition 2007

The Greenland Sea Kayak Expedition 2007 took place on the North-West coast of Greenland. The team completed the 600 km between the village of Uummannaq and Upernavik in 45 days. They did not take the route around the Svartenhuk peninsula but used an ancient inuit summer trail starting at the end of the long Uvkusigssat Fjord from where they pulled the sea kayaks over land for 40 km to reach the region of Upernavik further North.
The goal of this expedition is to give others the possibility to discover this amazing part of the world that has unique natural beauty and in this way to sensitize people about the environment and global warming.
