Greenland is a country of fascinating culture and spectacular wildlife. The winter months offer many activities such dog sledding, snow mobiling and the opportunity to witness the magnificent aurora borealis. The summer months provide a vast contrast with melting ice in the fjords opening up boat tour possibilities and the chance to view the icebergs in the glacial regions.

Ilulissat

The location of Ilulissat is breathtaking. All year round huge icebergs, towering more than a hundred metres above sea level, are stranded in the ice fjord just south of the town. These icebergs are all products of the mighty and most productive glacier in the northern hemisphere; the UNESCO designated Ilulissat Ice Fjord.

Kangerlussuaq

The location approximately 160 kilometres from the coast provides Kangerlussuaq with some of the most stable weather conditions in Greenland. It is also one of the best places in the world to experience the aurora borealis (northern lights) during the winter. Dog sledding, ice fishing and snowmobile tours are a few of the winter excursions you will find in Kangerlussuaq. The area is well known for arctic wildlife including reindeer, musk oxen, arctic foxes, arctic hares and arctic birds.

East Greenland

It has only been a hundred years since the first Europeans arrived in the inhabited districts in East Greenland and the original culture has not been affected by the western influence to the same degree as in other parts of Greenland.

Kulusuk

Kulusuk is the gateway to East Greenland. During summer there are daily flights to Reykjavik. The village Kap Dan is a typical settlement where the population still makes a living from hunting and fishing.

Tasiilaq

Due to the geographical location of East Greenland the town of Tasiilaq, formerly known as Ammassalik/Angmagssalik has always been relatively isolated. Here you will find the traditional Greenlandic culture surrounded by the amazing Arctic nature.
