Quite relevant, my book Nature Guide Greenland has just been released – 384 pages packed with beautiful photos and in-depth information about Greenland’s nature. The guide also includes suggestions […]
In collaboration with Visit Greenland, I have published a new, comprehensive online guide to the flora of Greenland Greenland may not be known for its green areas, despite its name, but parts of the landscape contains plenty of interesting and beautiful trees, shrubs and flowers. The landscape is dominated by Arctic tundra, which lies desolate […]

Enjoying the Arctic nature and the pristine wilderness of Greenland is a dream come true for any hiker. But it can also be extremely tough and sometimes risky. This is certainly the case when the hike at Nanortalik in South Greenland takes you over difficult boulders and steep mountainsides, through bottomless swamps and across rushing […]
A hike in the northeastern Greenlandic wilderness in Jameson Land offers incredible mountain landscapes and intimate experiences with the large musk oxen that dig into the local vegetation. Jameson Land is pristine Arctic wilderness, and as a hiker you must take precautions. After my stay in Ittoqqortoormiit, I had planned a 3-day hike alone in […]

I had […]

It has become autumn and Maniitsoq’s rooftops are […]
A hike to the abandoned village of Uunarteq (Cape Tobin) offers incomparably beautiful Arctic nature, challenging terrain and close encounters with snow hares, eider ducks, sea urchins and, if you are lucky/unlucky, polar bears. I have just arrived in Ittoqqortoormiit (June 25th, 2020) and I decide to embark on my first hike. Following good advice […]
