DESCRIPTION:
This is the western outpost of the Nordic countries and the eastern extremity
of the Innuit community along the icy shores of the Arctic Ocean. Here you
come face to face with the contrast of 1000 year old Innuit culture and the
modern world. Most of all Greenland is an overpowering sense of nature. Magnificent
and ever changing. It is one the last areas of the world unblighted by sign
post and path in the wilderness. In the south, the largest rock faces in the
world, vast pack ice, calving glaciers, fells and ice caps can encompass one
trip of a week. Extreme environment for the most adventurous people. Norse
ruins and sheep farms dot the area at the outer edges of the Fjords. Whales,
seals and the occasion polar make this extreme environment their home. You
can only access Greenland these days from Denmark. Only the most discriminating
adventures will make the flight as it has been throughout history.
Greenland has a potential for outdoor adventures that very few places on this
planet can match. The breathtaking Arctic scenery is almost endless on the
world's largest island, and with a total population of only 55,000 you are
truly on your own as soon as you leave one of the small towns and settlements.
Human civilization is the exception in this country. The mountains, valleys,
rivers and gigantic ice cap are practically virgin land. Hikers will experience
unspoiled scenery no matter where and how. On this trip you will explore both
the untouched lands of Greenland that have drawn the hardiest of adventurers
from all over the world and the historic Norse Lands. Stay in the land where
exiled Norseman, Eric the Red made his home.
