Hidden deep in East Greenland’s rugged landscape, near Ikateq, lies Bluie East 2—a relic from World War II. Once a U.S. military airfield, this now-abandoned site played a crucial role in Arctic operations. But today, it stands as an environmental disaster. Decades of neglect have left behind rusting vehicles & oil drums, polluting the pristine wilderness. A stark reminder of the human impact on fragile environments, Bluie East 2 is both a piece of history and a call for action to preserve Greenland’s natural beauty 🌍💔

River crossing in East Greenland is cool (& cold), we promise 🥶 but is there a better way to get to remote & inaccessible places?

East Greenland’s icebergs aren’t just beautiful—they’re colossal, raw, and untamed forces of nature. Towering above the dark, frigid waters, these jagged giants creak and groan, reminding you that this land is wild, brutal, and unforgiving.
Sailing through this icy labyrinth feels like you’re at the mercy of something ancient and primal. The winds howl, the sea surges, and every iceberg seems like a frozen titan ready to strike. This isn’t a place for the faint of heart—it’s for those seeking the thrill of nature’s raw power.

Picture yourself sailing through this serene fjord, with towering glaciers reflecting off mirror-like waters. As the sun sets behind jagged peaks, the anchor hits the bottom of the fjord, everything stays still & the untouched wilderness of East Greenland reveals its magic 🏔️❄️

Amarok Adventures - El lado salvaje de la aventura.
Amarok Adventures no tiene una oficina propia. Somos guías y trabajamos como tal, en destino, moviéndonos. Somos nómadas. Durante muchos años hemos trabajado en el campo del turismo, y hemos decidido que no nos gusta trabajar en un cubículo, por lo que preferimos que nuestra oficina esté desde en una casita de los valles pasiegos hasta una playa en la isla de Palawan, en Filipinas.
Nuestro equipo está conformado por un conjunto multidisciplinar de guías que se han formado con el paso de los años y de la experiencia en lugares extremos que han sabido disfrutar con la alegría de un niño. Cada guía ha desarrollado un programa o viaje concreto, siendo especialista en el destino y conociendo este lugar al dedillo. Déjanos mostrarte cada país con nuestros ojos, porque con nosotros, no solo estás en buenas manos, creemos que estás en las mejores manos y estamos ansiosos por tener la oportunidad de demostrártelo.
NUESTRA FILOSOFÍA
Amarok Adventures -en colaboración con las agencias locales- organiza y lidera sus viajes basándose en principios éticos, equitables y ambientales. Éstos son necesarios para que una actividad turística como la nuestra genere, además, beneficios sociales.
Redistribución de los beneficios económicos a las comunidades locales. Para ello aseguramos una remuneración justa y mejoramos las condiciones de trabajo en la medida de lo posible.
Información y sensibilización a los viajeros, basado en una transmisión de conocimientos y un desarrollo de las actividades respetando la cultura local y sus tradiciones.
Constitución de grupos reducidos -máximo 12 viajeros- que minimice el impacto ecológico y social de nuestros viajes.
Reducir del impacto ambiental. Para ello tratamos de reducir el uso de plásticos, sobre todo el países donde el reciclaje no es habitual.
Consumo de productos locales, siempre que sea posible, para fomentar el desarrollo de las comunidades del país.
Protección y respeto a la fauna y flora.
Un porcentaje de los beneficios de Amarok está destinado a proyectos sociales en destino.
