This is culture
In Greenland we hunt for subsistence, and we want you to understand that this is as important an element in life and culture in our region as the Northern Lights, the Arctic climate, and the language we speak.
In Destination Arctic Circle you will connect with local hunters whose skills are closely tied to the landscape, the animals, and the hunting tradtions.
So hunting for musk oxen, reindeer or maybe ptarmigan and Arctic hare is taking part in a sustainable way of life where the hunter makes sure that the ethics of good hunting practices are part and parcel of the experience.

Further south in the region Maniitsoq operators offer hunting in the southern Kangerlussuaq backcountry, using both helicopters, fixed wing planes, and charter boats to access the rich hunting grounds.
