OUR DESTINATIONS

Greenland

Greenland, the world’s largest island, is a place of raw, untamed beauty and fascinating contrasts. Despite its name, over 80% of Greenland is covered by an expansive ice sheet, making it one of the most unique and remote places on Earth. Its dramatic landscapes are shaped by nature’s most powerful forces– glaciers, icebergs, and the ever-changing Arctic weather. For keen landscape photographers, it’s an excitingly unique destination. On top of this, Greenland offers opportunities for some great marine photography, as its waters are home to whales, seals, and more.

A land of extremes

Geography: Greenland sits between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans, with over 44,000 kilometers of coastline. It boasts towering icebergs, vast glaciers, rugged fjords, and some of the world’s most pristine wilderness. Its terrain is varied–from snow-covered peaks to lush, green valleys during the short summer months.

Arctic Wonders: Greenland is known for its striking natural phenomena, including the midnight sun in summer and the northern lights in winter. The midnight sun, which lasts for weeks in the summer above the Arctic Circle, creates a surreal atmosphere, while the northern lights paint the night sky in shimmering colors.

Climate: Greenland experiences an Arctic climate, with long, cold winters and short, cool summers. Coastal areas, particularly in the southwest, have milder temperatures, while the interior is dominated by ice and snow. The unpredictable weather adds an element of adventure for those who visit, making every trip to Greenland feel unique.

A Rich Culture and History

Indigenous Heritage: Greenland is home to the Inuit people, who have adapted to this challenging environment for thousands of years. Their culture is deeply intertwined with the land and sea, and visitors can experience this through local traditions, art, and storytelling. The Greenlandic language, Kalaallit, is still widely spoken, though Danish is also an official language.

History: Greenland has a fascinating history, from its Norse settlers, who arrived in the 10th century, to its modern-day status as an autonomous territory of Denmark. Visitors can explore historical sites, including ancient Norse ruins, Greenlandic villages, and museums that tell the story of its unique past.

On land, visitors may encounter musk oxen, Arctic foxes, reindeer, and a wide array of bird species that migrate to the region.

National Parks: Greenland’s protected areas, including the Northeast Greenland National Park–the largest national park in the world–offer vast stretches of wilderness that remain largely untouched. These parks are home to incredible wildlife and provide a true escape into nature.

A modern yet remote destination

Despite its remote location, Greenland has a growing infrastructure for travelers. The capital, Nuuk, offers modern amenities and a vibrant cultural scene, while smaller towns and villages offer a glimpse into traditional Greenlandic life. With limited access and a small population, Greenland remains a hidden gem for those seeking adventure in a pristine, untouched environment.
