09.08.18 - Big Wall Climbing in South Greenland

 - This year we've had an expedition from the Czech Republic, two from Sweden and one from Spain, says Niels Tækker Jepsen from Nanortalik Tourism, which provides a full range of assistance and services to climbers.

 - Over the years we've had climbers from almost every nation down here, he continues. The fastest climbers reach the top and make their return within 24 hours. The more meticulous climbers may spend several nights in the mountains sleeping in specially-made hammocks.

Among the many possibilities for the mountain climbers in South Greenland's fells are the four summits in the Tasermiut fjord, where the sheer cliffs attract the specialists.

There are direct flights from Denmark (Copenhagen) to South Greenland's major airport in Narsarsuaq all year round with Air Greenland (www.airgreenland.com), as well as during the summer from Iceland (Keflavik) with Air Iceland (www.airiceland.is).
