Here, you\u2019ll look out at colourful fishing houses and calm blue waters all framed by glittering icebergs. With a season of four months, the camp is set up every May and disappears without a trace every September. With just six tents, time is of the essence.<\/p>\n<h2>LOCATION<\/h2>\n<p>Situated on Greenland\u2019s enchanting west coast \u2013 just 10km north of the Ilulissat ice fjord \u2013 Camp Saqqaq is only accessible by RIB boat (or a 25-minute helicopter ride). Touching down in Ilulissat, you\u2019ll head to the tranquil fishing village of Saqqaq in Disko Bay, where colourful houses overlook gleaming icebergs. There, 700m from the village, you\u2019ll find your home for the next few nights.<\/p>\n<h2>YOUR ROOM<\/h2>\n<p>Overlooking ice and sea, each of the camp\u2019s luxurious tents features full-size beds with soft arctic linen, cozy reading chairs, and ensuite bathrooms fitted with hot water showers. Lit by candles and decorated with furs, you\u2019ll relax in modern comfort (and warmth) while taking in the sweeping views of Disko Bay. Right by the water\u2019s edge, you won\u2019t have to look very far.<\/p>\n<h2>WHY WE LIKE IT<\/h2>\n<p>One of our favorite elements of Camp Saqqaq is the emphasis placed on embracing the wilderness and getting back to basics. Here, you can forage for wild berries and mushrooms, catch fish just off camp in the ice fjords, and enjoy a traditional Inuit-style BBQ over flat rocks warmed by the fire. Between dining (and foraging), you\u2019ll explore the surrounding natural landscapes; taking a (very) refreshing dip in the Arctic Ocean and paddleboarding between towering icebergs.<\/p>\n<h2>SUSTAINABILITY<\/h2>\n<p>At Camp Saqqaq, the camp\u2019s water is sourced from the nearby river and bathrooms feature eco-friendly toilets and locally crafted bath products. All non-organic waste is carefully transported to the village for proper disposal and wastewater is directed towards a designated dry well to minimize any environmental impact.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photos by Christine Lang and Remoteexperiences, Nomad Greenland. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Limited to just ten guests at a time, Camp Saqqaq is a tented camp perched on the edge of Greenland\u2019s breathtaking Disko Bay.
