Greenland

A guest hiking approaching the historic Zion Church in Ilulissat, Greenland

This is true polar exploration, whether it’s marveling at the big ice of West Greenland, experiencing the history of early Viking settlements or cruising among the towering icebergs of UNESCO World Heritage-designated Ilulissat Icefjord. Each year in this incredibly remote region, adventurous guests enjoy spectacular wildlife sightings and cultural rewards as well.

The Arctic resists summary. It cannot be abridged. There is no single definition of it and no definitive boundary to contain it. Also, it is full of surprises, and we may be surprised by how it affects us.
