Whether you want surprising, colorful sea floors, strange Arctic marine creatures or the rush of tidal waters, it is all there, under the surface along the West Coast of the Destination Arctic Circle.
Catfish, lumpsuckers, forests of sugar tongs, and weird sea cucumbers compete for your attention in this crystal clear water.
And the wrekcs of both a prisonship and the three masted schooner Borgin are supreme visits where only a very few people have ever been.
Top all that off with a springtime iceberg dive for something different, surreal, and unique.

We end Arne and Stefan’s epic winter journey with the heartwarming tale of settlement adventures in the village of Kangaamiut. A truly unique insight into everyday life in the Arctic.
This time we mean business!

Arne and Stefan hook up with the Støvlbæk Brothers snowmobiling crew for an epic day of riding in the huge Sisimiut backcountry.
The Arctic is more than deep backcountry and fierce outback, it is also vibrant, urban towns with street culture, art, and playful kids. In the “Urban Arctic” episode Arne and Stefan explore everyday life in Sisimiut, Greenland’s second largest town.
Arne and Stefan continue their exploration of Winter adventures along Greenland’s Arctic Circle and this time they meet 17 year old Mia and 70 year old Marius Olsen for a journey into the heart of dogsledding.
Head up from Nuuk to Maniitsoq on a weekend getaway and get up close and personal with playful humpback whales, visit large bird colonies, or explore the cosy town of Maniitsoq.

Whether you want surprising, colorful sea floors, strange Arctic sea creatures, or the rush of tidal waters, it is all there, under the surface along the West Coast of Destination Arctic Circle.
We absolutely love Winter diving with it’s crisp air and snowy shorelines. What’s more, diving in the late winter months can bring you up close with icebergs in a blue and white world of extreme clarity.
From Sisimiut we do one day trips to the alpine mountains northeast of town where a small glacier and a number of steep slopes are available. Or we can step things up a notch and head down to the rugged Itilleq mountains.
There’s a lot of sea to explore out there, and we would suggest going all in and seeing as much as possible while you’re already submerged anyway. Take advice from your tour operator and dive wrecks on the Arctic Circle close to the village Itilleq, head out for a fast paced underwater race with the tide in one of the fiord mouths around Sisimiut, or go on a longer expedition up North in search of icebergs to marvel at. You can also combine your dive trips with onshore activities, and you can minicruise down the coast from Sisimiut and dive locations both North and South of the Arctic Circle.
