| On each trip we make to Greenland we experience and observe some new-to-us aspects of Greenland. And we see a few more changes. Changes in people's values and in nature. We've often sent travelers as side trips from Iceland and now we have more variety in travel to, and tours within, Greenland. (One of us [BV] has always been interested in the Inuit culture and artifacts and built (and rebuilt) several Greenlandic kayaks - but that is another story. Here are some photos and words if that interests you. We constantly marvel that human beings could come up with the technologies to survive in these environs!) East Greenland is easy to reach from Iceland and offers a glimpse of a culture far removed from the modern "busyness" world. A visit is also a way to experience landscapes very few people have seen. There are only a few settlements and towns on this coast and an awful lot of their lives revolve around hunting, fishing and their dogs. There are not the huge, mountain-sized icebergs that one expects in, say, Ilulissat but the seas are full of bergs from bread box size to those that would dwarf a four car garage |

| Greenland areas (via Iceland) The only regular routes to Greenland are through Copenhagen, Denmark (which we do, also) or Reykjavik, Iceland..
NEW (and exciting) Sea and Ice Fly into Ilulissat for some time around Disco Bay then take the coastal steamer from village to village for 3 days until you reach the southern town of Narsaq. A stay in Narsaq rounds out your experiencing West Greenland. NorthWest - Ilulissat is the edge of the north of Greenland, birthplace of Knud Rasmussen, home to thousands of working dogs and most importantly a World Heritage Site known for the volume and size of ice bergs coming off of the nearby glaciers and filling the bay. East - Kulusuk and Amassalik (Tasiliik). Below the Circle. Never ice-free and because of that the only area that allows dogs (many, many) below the Arctic Circle. A one or two day trip from Iceland is easy to accomplish. We can send you to the village of Kulusuk on a day tour! Narsaq in South Greenland Viking ruins, Iceberg and Glaciers and Icebergs and green fertile fields, tiny settlements and calving icebergs. Icebergs and field ice are occasionally thick in the sea. In open water whales sometimes are spotted. |
