ARCTIC MIDNIGHT ORIENTEERING FESTIVAL

Ilulissat hosts the Arctic Midnight Orienteering Festival (AMO) every year in late June/early July, and has done so since 1999. The temperature is normally between 5 and 15°C, with continuous daylight, hence the name. This four-day orienteering race features different levels of difficulty over rugged terrain ranging from 5 to 20 km. Runners are rewarded with a breathtaking view of the ocean, dotted with islands and icebergs - enough to motivate them to finish the race!
