    Now that's certianly one of the more extreme camping spots I've come across!! That must have been such an unforgettable experience! Just the vast barren landscapes are so extraordinary to behold, so beautiful in their own eerie way!

    This is so awesome! I love the epic landscape of Greenland. I cannot wait to visit myself one day. I love the exposition you guys give. How cold was it during the day? What a cool looking tent. Love the inside setup. Just the fact that you slept on a Glacier! The experience of a lifetime!

      It was an amazing experience. I definitely recommend checking it out. It was about 32F or 0C, so not to cold. When the sun is out it feels much warmer.

    Beautiful Video. I love watching videos of places like this because my hatred of the cold outweighs my need for adventure. So I don't know if I will ever pull myself to camping places like this, even though they look incredible.

      We went with Camp Ice Cap - Albatros Arctic Circle.
      It would be to unsafe to go by ourselves. If you knew how to avoid crevasse and had a lot of glacial hiking experience I think it would be ok.

      @@TravelingAtoZ I've been looking at going to Kangerlussuaq, Ilulissat, Nuuk, and Sissimiut before seeing this but this made me want to go even more. It's so sad what's happening with their way of life with the EU restrictions on whaling, sealing, fishing, and hunting as well as climate change and the Greenland ice melt. People think that Greenland will benefit from ice melt because it will grant access to mining for Greenlandic natural resources, but Greenlanders don't want mining on Greenland. And even if they did they know that it'll just go to Denmark and foreign companies mostly anyway. It's just sad how the world doesn't understand Greenland's way of life or what it needs.

      @@TravelingAtoZ btw, can I pack dry food in my luggage on AirGreenland? I only ask because we're planning to start our journey in Nuuk, so we want to make sure we at least have pasta or rice or something for our time in Kangerlussuaq and the ice caps. I assume we can get some non-perishables in Nuuk.

      Ice melts whether you walk on it or not. Your typing on the internet uses electricity, which one way or another is produced by the burning of fossil fuels. This in turn admits greenhouses gases. If you are really concerned about the environment get off the internet.
