Safety on Foot
Unfortunately searches for straying hikers at Ilulissat Fjord occur regularly. Serious accidents can be avoided if you:
- Inform other people as to your whereabouts and the time you plan to return
- Talk to other people who know the area
- Do not hike alone
- Bring a map
- Bring hot and waterproof clothes (pull-on trousers, hat, and mittens)
- Bring food and drink
- Check the weather forecast (sudden thick fog is not unusual during the summer months)
- Turn back before you get too tired or supercooled
