TOURS IN GREENLAND

Greenland, the world's largest island while close to North America geographically is more aligned politically and historically to Europe and was part of the European Union. Greenland is a self governing province of Denmark and is located between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans with Iceland its closest European neighbor. Greenland has a population of 57000 and its capital city is Nuuk. Most of the population lives in the south west which does have a milder climate that the rest of the country.

Greenland enjoys three seasons with spring after the long winter providing activities like dog sledding, and the summer season starts when the ice melts and boat trips are available to view the glaciers and places of historical interest. The winter season is the harshest of the seasons but is the best time to take the spectacular Northern Lights. Dog sled and snowmobile tours are also available to the snow covered landscape.

Winter is the best time to visit Greenland to see the Northern Lights. The days in the south are short with the sunrise’s creating beautiful light displays. Spring brings temperatures above freezing in parts of the country and is the best time for sighting of seals and whales. Storms and heavy snow are rare in the spring and summer months
