Drybag for maps and valuables
Hiking maps are indispensable on Greenland. There is a series of maps called "Hiking Map .. (region)" published by greenland Tourism. They pretty much cover what you want to see and where you want to walk on Greenland, bu the scale is a bit too big at times. The maps are strong and well updated, however, somebody told me the glaciers have changed quite a bit since the map was made and uncovered new lakes and other hinderances.
In additions to this map series in 1:100 000, 1:75 000 and orienteering and recreational maps for the settlements, I know of a guide book that comes with a map of the hiking areas south of Ilulissat Kangerlua.
The maps you can buy in dedicated map shops (order: Greenland Tourism or Compukort, Kaerlodden 2, DK- Maarslet, Denmark), climbing shops as South Greenland is a climber's paradise, or at the airport and tourist offices on arrival Greenland. Skandinavisk Korthandel in Copenhagen had the full set.. Leave a Comment

Be prepared for all kinds of weather. Bring windproof and waterproof clothes, warm jerseys and sturdy walking shoes for all seasons. Temperatures can vary greatly during the day so bring also some slightly thinner clothes. I strongly advise sunglasses and protective sun lotion, also a mosquito net for the summer months (July and August). Extra warm clothes are necessary for dog-sledge expeditions.

At least 2 pair of socks and gloves if you are travelling in the winter time. Sunglasses a must. You can consider renting the seal skin clothing from the local travel agent. Leave a Comment
