North Greenland is a giant paradise for the adventurous at heart. Kangaatsiaq in the south is separate from Qaanaaq in the north by 1200 kilometers of landscapes ready to share an abundance of outstanding experiences. Since you are north of the Polar Circle, the summer sun shines 24 hours a day, going black later on as it turns over the “stage” to the colorful northern lights.
Along the coast are more than 30 small settlements where hunting is still the primary occupation, and where the unique skills demanded of this hunting-based culture are still going strong. In these small, closely-knit communities, dog sledding, kayaking and handicrafts have been nurtured to perfection over the centuries. Here you will encounter the North Greenlandic hospitality that has become deeply rooted by necessity in the spirit of the inhabitants. In these parts, hospitality has traditionally been more a question of survival than friendliness.
The North Greenlandic icebergs can be as high as 100 meters – and that is only the part over the water line. They are colossal objects jutting vertically out of the water in tremendous forms and shapes. Yet they are also graceful and fantastically beautiful as they move quietly along the surface of the sea.
