This afternoon you join a hike that takes you to the edge of the Delta. We have flora and fauna in focus when we walk past the French hut and continue towards the impressive Delta. Here the landscape opens, and you get a fantastic view of the delta. Here the greyish meltwater from the ice sheet rushes out into a branched network of small rivers to eventually open into the bay.

Walk on small paths along the coast and keep an eye on the possibility of spotting snow hares, polar foxes, bell flowers and marsh Labrador Tea. You might even catch a glimpse of the sea eagles, which often build nests on the cliff edge. An amazing easy hike, where you will find breathtaking views of the Eqi glacier.
