Travel To Greenland
Greenland remains a land of fantastical and semi-mythical proportions. Beneath a mesmerising aurora borealis lies a vast tundra and glittering columns of ice whose monstrous glaciers launch icebergs into the sea to form magnificent southern fjords. Some might be surprised to learn that Greenland is the world’s biggest island. Its large and impressive island terrain is therefore marked by the kind of topography that you might expect: surrounding sea, hills and wildlife. Yet the sea is either permanently frozen or chilled by the mainly cold currents. Its hills are framed by wild and rugged scenery and clear, clean air.
Greenland is a unique destination on top of the world, offering visitors a breathtaking and spectacular experience of nature’s most wonderful creations. From the majestic icebergs of Ilulissat to the lush green valleys of the south, every part of Greenland is an unforgettable experience. There are no ferry connections between Greenland and Iceland, Denmark or Canada. However, more and more cruise ship companies are choosing to include Greenland on their itineraries, whereby it is possible to begin the voyage from Iceland or go onboard at, for example, Kangerlussuaq. Some cruise companies also sail transatlantic routes that call at ports in Greenland.
Greenland has 3 travel seasons: spring, summer, and winter. Spring in Greenland offers lots of dog-sledding in March and April and the capital of Nuuk hosts the Snow Festival. Also, the Arctic Circle Race, the world’s toughest cross-country skiing race, takes place in Sisimiut in spring. Greenlandic summer (May - September) offers sailing and the fjords have melted so travelers can enhoy boat trips to glaciers, settlements and historical sites. Wintertime in Greenland is for adventurers. If you want to experience the real Arctic nature, then come to Greenland between November and February.
