The mountains, valleys, rivers and gigantic ice cap are practically virgin land. Hikers will experience unspoiled scenery. You can walk from hut to hut or - in South Greenland - from sheep croft to sheep croft. Experienced mountain hikers will find challenges with unique awards of beauty in every part of Greenland. Whale watching can be enjoyed from the streets or even from your hotel room. During the late summer and early autumn whales swim close to the coast and are sometimes seen in the harbours. There are many different species of whales in Greenlandic waters including the two largest, the blue whale and the fin whale. An estimated two million seals live in Greenlandic waters. Walruses are primarily seen in north and east Greenland.

Your first encounter with large animals in Greenland usually takes place very soon after arrival. Flying in Greenland is a stunning experience. A chance to see glaciers flow between the mountains from the ice cap to the sea. With a view of the endless ice cap and a sea full of icebergs. Dog sledge driving is a total experience of speed, teamwork and grandiose scenery. The sledge feels alive under the reindeer skin, moving up and down in time with the terrain. Steam comes from the 12 baying sledge dogs.

The midnight sun can be encountered north of the Polar Circle. In Ilulissat, for example, the sun never sets from May 25th to July 25th, and during that period `normal` calendar time is virtually non-operative. It is light around the clock. At what used to be night time the soft, warm light and the long shadows from the low-hanging sun bring the scenic backdrops into dreamlike and almost supernaturally beautiful relief. Greenland is blessed with a peaceable people that have never waged war with anyone, and its citizens show great openness to visitors. This is the Arctic. A world of breathtaking beauty and strength on top of our planet.
