Witness spectacular icebergs, glaciers, fjords, and mountains
Get up close to Greenland’s vast ice cap, which pushes huge rivers of glacial ice down to the sea through a myriad of stunning fjords.
Watch as the glaciers meet the ocean and the tide and temperature combine to break off icebergs, revealing unearthly colours in crystalline shapes.
This is a photographer’s paradise!

Follow the route of brave Norse explorers
Cross the Denmark Strait to see the sparsely populated, seldom-visited east coast of Greenland.
