Victor went to Eqi in 1948-1953 to make geologically exploration of the Ice Sheet.
The lodge is located right to the mesmerising glacier, from your cabin you have a front-row seat to the one of nature´s most spectacular shows. This is an unforgettable destinations and its surroundings offer many fascinating experience. You may wish to spend whole day at leisure and enjoy the peace of arctic silence, while relaxing in sauna with glacier view. A quiet afternoon on the terrase, with beautiful scenery is a good way to disconnect from the hustle of daily life. If you seek polar adventure, there are several hikes in the area, they consist of different length and level of difficulties. On a guided hike to the ice sheet, you may follow the steps of Paul-Émile Victor. In some areas you can still see traces from his tracked vehicles, that carried equipment on the ice sheet. On the hike you pass by remains of his transportation cables and tracked vehicles before you walk on the edge of the enormous ice sheet.
Around the Lodge is Café Victor, here you will have your lovely meals. Despite its location “in the middle of nowhere,” the kitchen staff is known for serving really good food, and the chef takes pride in the fact that the food is super-delicious and something you would not expect out here in the wilderness. In the kitchen, skilled chefs use as many Greenlandic ingredients as possible.
