With few tourist facilities and an ice cap that takes up about 80 percent of its land mass, Greenland is not an easy place to visit. But Natural Habitat Adventures is building a new safari-style camp on Greenland's east coast, offering a comfortable way to experience the island's remote glaciers, icebergs and mountains.
Set to begin operation in July 2015, Natural Habitat's Base Camp Greenland, about 40 miles north of Tasiilaq, will offer twin-bedded, solar-powered tents on raised platforms accommodating 12 travelers.
Campers will have en-suite composting toilets and, in a separate bathhouse, showers. A common lodge will house a kitchen and dining room.
The eco-camp is designed to be constructed and disassembled each year, with all waste hauled out.
The camp will serve as a base for exploring the Arctic wilderness in hiking trips in the mountains and on glaciers and kayaking excursions around the wildlife-rich Sermilik Fjord.
"It's one of the most wild shorelines in all the Arctic," said Olaf Malver, chief exploratory officer of Natural Habitat, who has visited Greenland 26 times and helped scout the base camp's location. "It's a huge, quiet wilderness only interrupted by cracking icebergs," he said.
Four-night stays at the camp are the centerpiece of nine-day trips that start and end in Reykjavik, Iceland. Rates start at $8,995 per person, double occupancy.
