The Oppressive Feel of Greenland's Glaciers | 8-Day Itinerary Included
Greenland, the largest island in the world, is a cold and cruel fairyland at the end of the earth
The majestic glaciers and fjords, the vast Arctic ice cap, the huge icebergs of various shapes, the excited barking of sled dogs, and the mysterious Inuit people who come before you, everything is in a pure and wild form.
This is a secret realm of the North Atlantic that very few have seen, with 2/3 of the island within the Arctic Circle and over 80% of the land covered by ice and snow. Here live whales, seals, Arctic hares, muskoxen, and polar bears, among other Arctic animals, and there are more than 240 days a year when you can see the Northern Lights.
📍 Kangerlussuaq, with its endless glaciers, inland ice caps, Arctic tundra, and rich Arctic wildlife, is a paradise for hikers.
📍 Greenland Ice Cap, where you can enjoy the endless ice fields, blue streams, waterfalls, and lakes, a pure Arctic world.
📍 Ilulissat Glacier, witness the most active glacier in the northern hemisphere, with deep fjords and huge icebergs that are magnificent and enchanting.
📍 Disko Bay, facing the clear sea breeze, in pursuit of humpback and minke whales, where midnight sun and the azure glaciers reflect each other.
📍 Greenland's perennial glaciers, put on crampons, and venture into the unexplored depths of the mysterious glaciers.
📍 Eqi Glacier, enjoy the spectacular sight of glacier calving up close, immersed in the wonders of the Arctic ice sea.

🔖Ilulissat Icefjord
·
The most active Ilulissat glacier in the Northern Hemisphere
Produces nearly 40 million tons of ice blocks every day
The ice grows more than 35 cubic kilometers each year
Exceeding any other glacier outside of Antarctica
·
This is also the most beautiful Arctic ice fjord in the world
Included in the UNESCO World Heritage List
The spectacular fjord, massive glacier, and boundless ocean
Display the vast and enchanting natural landscape of the Arctic region
·
Sailing out to sea on a special vessel, when passing through the profound fjord
Huge icebergs stack before your eyes
Blue ice floats on the gem-like deep sea surface
The twilight renders the entire sky into a pinkish-purple hue
It's as if the world stands still at this moment
·
Admiring the huge icebergs and glaciers up close
The bluish icebergs refract dazzling light, like a dream
When massive ice blocks break off and slide down from the glacier
It's like the roar of nature, echoing in the ears, reaching straight to the soul
·
Under the illumination of the midnight sun
Humpback whales and minke whales leap from the sea surface, splashing water
Encountering these giant creatures, akin to ocean spirits
Is undoubtedly a moment that is hard to forget in a lifetime
