About Us
A small shop with a big heart, right on the edge of the Arctic.
Born From a Love of Ilulissat
The GlacierShop sits in the centre of Ilulissat, Greenland’s most visited town and home to one of the most spectacular natural wonders on earth – the Ilulissat Icefjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We opened the shop with one goal: to give visitors and online customers access to genuinely beautiful, authentically Greenlandic products.
We work with local artisans who have been crafting clothing, accessories, and decorative pieces for generations. Every item in the shop reflects the culture, landscape, and spirit of the Arctic, and we’re proud to share it with the world.
What We Stand For
A few things that matter to us.
Locally Made
We work directly with Greenlandic artisans. Every handmade piece supports the local community
Authentically Greenlandic
No mass-produced tourist trinkets. Everything we stock reflects genuine Greenlandic craft and culture.
Carefully Chosen
We take time with every item on our shelves. If it’s here, we believe in it.
Worldwide Shipping
Can’t make it to Ilulissat? We ship our products globally so you can carry a piece of the Arctic home, wherever you are.
The Shop & The Café
The GlacierShop is more than a gift shop. At the back of our Ilulissat store you’ll find a warm, welcoming café serving coffee, tea, light meals, and a handful of local Greenlandic favourites. It’s a favourite stop for visitors arriving off the icefjord trail, and for locals looking for a familiar corner to sit.
We’re open to cruise guests, independent travellers, and anyone curious about what Greenland has to offer. Come in, look around, and let us tell you the story behind what’s on the shelves.
