East Greenland is probably the one destination to be travelled by sea kayak. It is the home of the kayak, but also home of immensely huge icebergs, polar bears, whales, other tremendous wildlife and incredibly kind people. I had the opportunity to travel to East Greenland with an amazing group of passionate paddlers, guided by Martin Rickard and George Shaw.
Martin has roughly 20 years of experience guiding in this dynamic and raw environment. We managed to navigate during long crossings in thick fog, around insanely large ice bergs, reached one of Gino Watkins’ basecamp from the British Arctic Air Route Expedition in the 1930s and to stay away from polar bears, finding sleep in 24h of sunlight.
