Greenland

The World's Last Great Wilderness

Icebergs the size of cities, dog sled expeditions, and aurora skies over the world's largest island.

Greenland is the world's largest island and one of its most remote destinations — an extraordinary Arctic wilderness of continental ice sheets, fjords filled with cathedral icebergs, and indigenous Inuit communities that have survived on the edge of the habitable world for millennia. The Ilulissat Icefjord is one of the most awe-inspiring places on Earth, where icebergs the size of city blocks calve from the Sermeq Kujalleq glacier and drift south toward the Atlantic. Greenland offers dog sled expeditions, helicopter tours over the ice sheet, whale watching, and some of the world's best Northern Lights viewing. It is not a destination for the unprepared — but those who make the journey are rewarded with a transformative encounter with the raw power of the planet.
