Greenland

The world's largest island, where ice sheet, icebergs and Inuit culture meet, and you can see the northern lights and the midnight sun.

Greenland is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, lying between the North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean. It is the world's largest island, mostly covered by an ice sheet, with settlements mainly along the coast. Key attractions include the UNESCO-listed Ilulissat Icefjord, the fjord scenery around the capital, Nuuk, and Norse ruins in the south, as well as whale watching, dog sledding and Inuit culture. From June to August you can experience the midnight sun and go hiking, while autumn and winter are good for viewing the northern lights. The main gateways are Nuuk and Kangerlussuaq airports, and getting around the country relies mainly on flights and boats.
