Visitors are also drawn to the unique Arctic wildlife, traditional Inuit culture, and natural phenomena like the Northern Lights and the midnight sun
The population of Greenland was estimated to be around 56,600 people, a relatively small population due to its remote location and challenging Arctic environment.
Most travellers reach Greenland via flights from Iceland or Denmark. There are regular flights from Reykjavik, Iceland, and Copenhagen, Denmark, to major Greenlandic towns like Nuuk, Ilulissat, and Kangerlussuaq. In summer, expedition ships also sail from Iceland and other Arctic regions, offering an immersive way to explore Greenland's coastline.
Small Ship Safari
Our small expedition ship gives us the flexibility to explore anywhere in the region. We have no set itinerary and a vast area to explore. This is not a typical tourist destination and we are unlikely to encounter other ships as we explore.

These informal lectures will range from the history of the region, to the effects of climate change on the habitats of Arctic wildlife, offering you a greater understanding of the areas you will visit throughout your trip.
