Greenland: icebergs, glaciers and much more.

Icebergs are called "Ilulissat" in Greenlandic, and it comes as no surprise to anyone who has been here that this is the town's name. Ilulissat is beautifully situated at the mouth of the 40-kilometre ice fjord filled with enormous icebergs produced by the most productive glacier in the northern hemisphere, the glacier Sermeq Kujalleq. It's one of few glaciers within the Greenland ice cap which reaches the sea.  Ilulissat is located on the west coast of Greenland, 250 km north of the Arctic Circle.

4,000 people live in Ilulissat and not less than 6,000 sled dogs. This is an eloquent statement of the importance of the dogsled as a means of transport, even in a large modern town.

Regular boat trips are scheduled in the fjord, where you will sail between floating icebergs of all dimensions. Hiking trips and helicopter tours are also available.  You can therefore easily admire huge icebergs up close that come loose from the glacier and crash into the sea.

Minimum stay for this package is 2 nights, however you can extend your vacation as you like.

A note about travel to Greenland

Greenland offers a somewhat different type of travel experience than you might expect. Its remote location and island status means that virtually all items must be imported; hence, even everyday items cost more than they do even in Iceland or Denmark (which Greenland is a part of).

Also, accommodations tend to be small in size (again, because of high cost of importing building materials), and service often is more relaxed than you will find elsewhere.

Still, Greenland is a fascinating and breathtaking destination, and we're confident that its amazing natural wonders will mitigate any minor inconveniences you may experience during your brief stay.
