Tryfan in Snowdonia 

EAST GREENLAND, TASIILAQ

This trip will take us from London via Reykjavik to a small remote airport Kulusuk in Eastern Greenland just 100km south of the Artic Circle. From here we transfer by boat to Tasiilaq our base from which we hike and explore this remote island. The trip includes a four day/ three night backpack taking us along a 16 km corridor of 1200 meter peaks to Kurgamiit in remote North East, before turning west then south to hike past two glaciers and follow the Valley of lakes back to our base in Tasiilaq.In Tasiilaq we have a couple of day hikes and some well deserved R&R.Greenland has been politically and culturally associated with Europe (specifically Norway and Denmark, the colonial powers, as well as the nearby island of Iceland) for more than a millennium. The majority of its residents are Inuit, whose ancestors began migrating from the Canadian mainland in the 13th century, gradually settling across the island. The coat of arms of Greenland is a blue shield featuring a silver polar bear. This symbol was first introduced in the coat of arms of Denmark in 1666 and it is still represented in the arms of the Danish royal family. In a Danish context, the bear was originally shown walking naturally, but an upright position was specified in 1819. The 1470 London Roll shows an arms captioned Le Roy de Greneland featuring a shield depicting a polar bear surrounded by three birds. This royal title did not reflect any official title, but merely that the arms could be used by anyone controlling Greenland. Field guide
