Greenland’s Qajaq: The Arctic Hunting Craft That Shaped Sea Kayaking Worldwide

Standing in the Greenland National Museum in Nuuk recently, looking at the old qajaqs displayed there, brought home just how extraordinary these craft really are. To a modern sea kayaker they are immediately recognisable as ancestors of our own boats, yet they were created for a purpose far removed from recreational paddling. The Greenland qajaq was not primarily designed to get someone from A to B. It was a highly sophisticated piece of survival technology.

Paddling Maniitsoq and Sermillinguaq Fjord: From Scotland to the Ice

by Cory JonesAdventure, Greenland, sea kayaking October 17, 2026October 1, 2026No Comments

There are moments when travelling when a landscape on the other side of the world suddenly feels strangely familiar. Our first paddle near Maniitsoq in West Greenland was one of those moments. We had come to Greenland expecting huge fjords, glaciers, icebergs and unmistakably Arctic landscapes. Instead, as we paddled beneath steep rocky mountains rising from the sea, I kept thinking that I had seen this place before. It looked like Torridon.

Croker Bay: Paddling Beneath the Glaciers of Devon Island

There are few things that make you feel smaller in a sea kayak than a glacier. Mountains can be enormous. Icebergs can dwarf you. Whales can surface alongside your kayak and make a five-metre boat suddenly seem ridiculously insignificant. But a glacier is different. A glacier is a landscape that moves.

Kangerlussuaq Fjord: Sea Kayaking Among the Icebergs of West Greenland

Kangerlussuaq Fjord: Sea Kayaking Among the Icebergs of West Greenland. There is something particularly special about paddling a sea kayak amongst icebergs. They transform an otherwise familiar seascape into something completely different. The water is moving, the kayak is moving and, importantly, the ice is moving as well. Every piece has a different shape, a different colour and its own story of how it broke away from the Greenland Ice Sheet and eventually found its way towards the sea.
