The fleeting Arctic summer brings twenty four hours of daylight and north of the Arctic Circle, the midnight sun. The brief respite from winter is a period of intense activity - the pack ice breaks up and giant icebergs drift through the fjords; migratory birds arrive, breed and depart and hardy Arctic flora bloom and scatter seed before the first snowfalls herald the onset of another winter. The sea freezes over and giant icebergs are locked in place. There is a sense of timelessness in this cold and silent world, which reigns uninterrupted for the rest of the year.
The world’s largest island remains one of the last unspoilt wilderness areas. Crystal clear air, magnificent scenery and a fascinating culture both past and present make Greenland one of the most exciting holiday destinations on offer - it is often more accessible than people think although adverse weather conditions can occasionally affect travel plans.
A visit to the island can easily be combined with a holiday in Iceland and our team will be delighted to discuss the options with you.
