Visit Kangerlussuaq, Greenland, located in the Arctic. Kangerlussuaq is an extremely small town with only about 500 residents, and the wildlife outnumber the people on this island. Kangerlussuaq tours take you to the Greenland Ice Sheet edge at Point 660, the Russell Glacier wall, wildlife areas for musk ox and caribou, and historic U.S. airbase sites. Some of the wildlife that's often spotted, aside from the musk ox, includes reindeer and the great white-tailed eagle, among many other bird species. Kangerlussuaq is well known for its comfortable temperatures year round despite its location in the Arctic.Additionally, you'll have the opportunity to visit Greenland's ice sheet as the proximity to Kangerlussuaq is extremely close. You could also combine your cruise to Kangerlussuaq with a cruise of the Arctic and see the myriad of sights that the most isolated place in the world offers.
