Igaliku Youth Hostel and Cabins. Igaliku is one of the most beautiful villages in Greenland. Small stone houses are spread over a protected, green and fertile plain in the bottom of a very blue fjord. It is like an oasis in an otherwise rough and desolated landscape. There is an atmosphere of stillness and tranquillity, which you cannot fully grasp before you have experienced it. There are several shorter or longer hikes with magnificent views in the area of Igaliku. Besides, it is the perfect place to distress. With a book in front of your cabin, going fishing at Lake 90, or simply taking in the peace while the sun sets! Facilities youth hostel The youth hostel has

About Blue Ice Blue Ice Explorer is a partnership between Outfitter Jacky Simoud in Narsarsuaq and Topas, Denmark. Jacky (original French) came to Greenland in 1976 with his friends on a sailing boat. They were supposed to stay for a year in Greenland, but he stayed a bit longer, and has been living here since! In 1996, he moved to south Greenland, where he made a living of sailing tourist with his charming boat Puttut. In 2002, Jacky began a close collaboration with Topas, and Blue Ice has grown to a company with several employees during the summer season. Our speciality is custom-made package
trips, for individuals as well as for groups, from one to several days. We have our base in Narsarsuaq (the gateway to South Greenland). We have five passenger-boats for
tours and
transfers. We run the youth hostel in Narsarsuaq and Igaliku, and we have established Blue Ice Camp - a base camp at the mouth of the Qooroq Ice Fjord. We have several years of experience and knowledge about the area, as well as good contact to the local sheep farmers. This gives us ideal conditions to meet your individual requests, and to give you a unique experience at your stay in Greenland.
