    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.

    Iceland became a Viking kingdom as more and more Norse ventured northwest from the Faroes and British Isles, but the boldest adventurers went on to Greenland—and so will you!
