From Qeqertarsuaq we go by dog sledges across the island of Disko — experiencing the traditional Greenlandic way of transportation and the fantastic atmosphere of the "real" Greenland.
Slowly we begin to have a good understanding for the power and rhythm of the dogs and we enjoy the silent days where we only hear the scraping of the sledge, the crack of the dog whip and the breathing of the dogs.
