Kangerlussuaq is a settlement on the west coast of Greenland near the end of a fjord of the same name. A former U.S. military base, the settlement serves as the international gateway for the majority of travel to and from Greenland today. The town is also surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and wildlife. Thousands of musk oxen roam the mountains and valleys near the town, which are accessible by hiking trails.

Sisimiut is the capital and largest city of the Qeqqata municipality, and the second-largest city in Greenland. It is located in central-western Greenland, on the coast of Davis Strait. Sisimiut has been inhabited for the last 4,500 years, first by the Inuit peoples of the Saqqaq culture, Dorset culture, and then the Thule people, whose descendants form the majority of the current population. Artifacts from the early settlement era can be found throughout the region, favored in the past for its plentiful fauna, particularly the marine mammals providing subsistence for the early hunting societies. The population of modern Greenlanders in Sisimiut is a mix of the Inuit and Danish peoples, who first settled in the area in the 1720s under the leadership of the Danish missionary, Hans Egede.

The Canadian Arctic archipelago is roughly the size of Western Europe. A faraway, remote region of frozen earth and sea ice, intense cold reigns here. The Nunavut Territory is an inhospitable, almost inhuman place, and yet the Inuit people have lived here for thousands of years, deeply connected to their land. Indeed, the population is approximately 33,330 people, 84 percent of whom are indigenous. Nunavut can only be accessed by air or sea, so visiting this place is a rare delight.

Hans Island is a small, uninhabited barren knoll located in the center of the Kennedy Channel of Nares Strait—the strait that separates Ellesmere Island from northern Greenland and connects Baffin Bay with the Lincoln Sea. The island is within the territorial waters of both Canada and Denmark. A theoretical line in the middle of the strait goes through the island. The north geomagnetic pole is a place where auroras occur, resulting from the convergence of solar particles guided by lines of the Earth's magnetic field.

The ice cap that covers the majority of Greenland extends right down to the Arctic Ocean via vast glaciers, each as majestic as the next. The most well-known and spectacular of these is without a doubt the Humboldt Glacier. It is the vastest coastal glacier in the Northern Hemisphere, with a terminus that reaches 68 miles in width. Advancing inexorably towards the sea, it regularly calves veritable ice cathedrals—gigantic icebergs that detach themselves from the glacier before toppling and crashing into the frozen ocean.

Virgin lands from the dawn of time and the immensity of the polar oceans: you are in Baffin Bay. Here, you discover a secret share of a protected treasure. Spot polar bears, humpback whales, walruses, migratory birds, and, as you round an opaque glacier, you might even see a languid beluga.

Etah is an abandoned village in northern Greenland which was once the most northerly populated settlement in the world but because of the harsh climate the Inuit people moved south. Etah has been used as a base camp for several Arctic expeditions including the Humphrey Expedition of 1934-35 and the MacGregor Arctic Expedition in 1937-38. To the west of Etah is Baffin Bay, which is usually frozen from October to July, and Ellesmere Island, Canada, approximately 50 kilometers away across Baffin Bay. Today the village only has occasional summer hunting inhabitants who reside in the still-standing huts.

Cape York is an important geographical landmark that delimits the northwestern end of Melville Bay, with the other end commonly defined as Wilcox Head, the western promontory on Kiatassuaq Island. A chain of small coastal islands stretches between Cape York and Cape Melville to the east, the largest of which is Meteorite Island. The cape is located 37 km (23 mi) west-south-west of the Savissivik settlement on Meteorite Island.

Kullorsuaq is a settlement in the Qaasuitsup municipality in northwestern Greenland. It is the northernmost settlement in the Upernavik Archipelago, located on Kullorsuaq Island at the southern end of Melville Bay, itself part of the larger Baffin Bay. The settlement was founded in 1928 and became a trading station, growing in size after World War II when hunters from several small villages around Inussulik Bay, Sugar Loaf Bay, and Tasiusaq Bay moved into the larger settlements such as Nuussuaq and Kullorsuaq. Today, Kullorsuaq remains one of the most traditional hunting and fishing villages in Greenland, but maintains a stable population.

Nuliarfik is an island off the Northwest coast of Greenland to the north of Upernivik Island and home to the village of Karat.

The Ilulissat Fjord offers an extraordinary spectacle. Embark on an unforgettable adventure aboard a local boat to discover this river of ice. When the light changes as the sun’s angle shifts, the icebergs display strange colors, draping themselves in gold, pink, red, and mauve as off in the distance the houses light up for nightfall. In the isolated bay, the horizon, water, and ice meld together and become one.

Evigheds Fjord or “Eternity Fjord” is a fjord in Western Greenland and is nearby to Qingârssuk and Torssût. Cruise and explore the glassy water surrounded by stunning peaks.
