We will take you to the airport from where Airzafari’s pilot will take over. The pilot will give you a thorough briefing about the trip while you enjoy a hot cup of coffee or tea.
After the briefing you will go to the small and safe 6 persons passenger airplane. All passengers are guaranteed a window seat which will give you the best opportunities possible to take mental as well as physical pictures of the picturesque sceneries.
From Ilulissat Airport the airplane will fly towards the norther glacier ‘Sermeq Avangnardleq’. You fly over the beautiful mountains and suddenly the landscape opens, and you will be met by the impressive glacier. On the way the pilot will inform you about what you see. Fell free to ask all the questions you want – you are all connected to the intercom.
From the northern glacier you fly over the icecap and look for the beautiful turquoise melt water lakes.
Then you will arrive at the magnificent Ilulissat glacier ‘Sermeq Kujalleq’. ‘Sermeq Kujalleq’ is the source to the massive icebergs at Ilulissat and is truly a special sight. On the way back you will follow the Icefiord and get an impression of the long journey that the icebergs take from the glacier to the mouth of the fiord.
Before you return to the airport the airplane will make a turn to the south and you will swing by the cosy little settlement ‘Ilimanaq’. From Ilimanaq to Ilulissat you will pass over the mouth of the Icefiord – keep an eye out for whales!
