North Pole or Everest: which expedition is right for you?
Major polar expeditions and summits above 7000 or 8000 meters represent two of the most ambitious challenges on the planet. While these worlds share the same taste for commitment, autonomy and exploration, they are based on very different logics. Between the ascent of a very high summit and a great polar traverse, how do you know which adventure suits you best ? Discover the common points, the differences and the progression paths that allow you to reach these exceptional objectives.

Why travel with us on a sea kayaking trip or expedition?
In the icy waters of Disko Bay, on the west coast of Greenland, icebergs drift slowly beneath the midnight sun, while humpback whales make their way up the fjords to feed. It is in this exceptional polar environment that we invite you to embark on an itinerant sea kayaking expedition, in the heart of one of Greenland’s most spectacular regions. In a small group of only 6 participants, we paddle silently among the giant ice formations calved from the Sermeq Kujalleq glacier, with a constant spirit of exploration. Each day combines sea kayaking among monumental icebergs, whale watching, wild camps on the tundra and hiking. This adventure favours a respectful approach to wildlife and a genuine immersion in the vast Arctic wilderness. Kayaking allows us to move quietly and get close to cetaceans in truly unique observation conditions, while experiencing an intense and authentic expedition. Depending on conditions, we may also have the opportunity to fish for cod directly from the kayaks, before preparing and sharing it in the evening at camp, facing the drifting icebergs.
