Excursions from Tasiilaq
August 24th, 25th e 26th, 2009

The trip itinerary is altered because rain and heavy sea is coming. So, the planned trek on the icecap, ending into Isortoq village, is canceled for safety reason and the group is transported back to Tasiilaq. From Tasiilaq, shorter excursions are offered while waiting for better weather.
