“Mush” away in Greenland…
Article

Our husky sledging holidays are based in the traditional Greenlandic village of Kulusuk in the Ammassalik region. Here the husky teams are still a vital part of daily life, used both as a means of transport and on hunting expeditions. Each sledge has its own driver and team of eight to twelve huskies, who must train together for over a year. You’ll pick up some of the secrets of ‘mushing’ from him as you glide silently over the ice and snow. One introductory husky sledge ride and one full day on the sledges are included (further trips can be taken at additional cost).

Trivia

Parts of the Greenlandic Ocean are among the most fruitful in the world. Large areas are rich in nutrient salts and because of this, none of the Greenlandic marine mammals, seals, whales or walrus are listed as endangered species.
