MUSK-OX & CARIBOU HUNTING

Iceland Outfitters offers musk-ox and caribou hunting around Kangerlussuaq in Greenland.

KANGERLUSSUAQ – GREENLANDSummer 2020

The animal life around Kangerlussuaq has the largest herds of musk-ox in the world, and a large stock of caribou. Polar fox, polar hare, ptarmigan, sea eagle, peregrine falcon can often be seen.

So far we have had 100% success in our hunts.

You fly to Kangerlussuaq through Denmark or Iceland. We advise guests to stay 1 night in either country after the hunt in case there is a delay in flights from Greenland.

Your host and his guides are raised within the Greenlandic culture, and they know everything about the behavior of the animals. Greenland has a big stock of musk-oxen. In Kangerlussuaq area there are about 4,000-5,000 animals living in an area which is unfenced. Vegetation and food supplies in general are excellent in this area. Which means that the musk-ox here grow to a size approximately 15% bigger than other places in Greenland.
