About
Blue Ice Explorer is a locally based tourism operator in South Greenland founded by Jacky Simoud in 1996. Jacky, who hails from France, first came to Greenland with some friends on a sailboat in 1976. In 1996, he moved from North Greenland to the South, where he started making a living sailing tourists with his charming old wooden boat Puttut. In 2002, Jacky initiated a close collaboration with Topas. Since then, Blue Ice has grown to become a company that employs several staff members during the summer season. Blue Ice Explorer is from 2017 owned 100% by Topas Group.
Jacky Simoud retired from Blue Ice Explorer 01.01.2020 and since then the company has been run by a team of experienced employees behind the helm. Among those are Claus Pedersen who has been a part of Blue Ice explorer since 2003.
