Greenland, a territory of Denmark, is mostly located within the Arctic Circle and is known as the northernmost land in the world.
Throughout the year, you can see glaciers, icebergs, and snow, making it the place where you can experience being closest to the Arctic in the most accessible way.
Of the ten UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Denmark, three are actually located in Greenland.
The Ilulissat Icefjord, centered around the Jakobshavn Glacier (Sermeq Kujalleq Glacier) formed during the last glacial period of the Quaternary, is the largest glacier in the world outside of Antarctica. Additionally, two other UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Greenland are 'Kujataa Greenland: Norse and Inuit Farming at the Edge of the Ice Cap,' where you can glimpse the lives of the Inuit from prehistoric times, and 'Aasivissuit – Nipisat, Inuit Hunting Ground between Ice and Sea.'
Greenland, in the Arctic Circle, experiences low temperatures year-round, with the sun barely rising in winter, while in summer, the sun remains above the horizon for extended periods.
Enjoy the fascinating history of the people who have lived in this rare climate, along with the breathtakingly beautiful natural scenery.
As climate conditions can change frequently, please enjoy your unique journey to the Arctic by following the advice of local advisors.
