Greenland’s vast ice sheet, covering 80% of the island, makes overland travel nearly impossible across its interior.0This frozen expanse, while awe-inspiring from the air, is impassable by conventional means, leaving the edges of the island as the best places for exploration.
Even along the coastlines, traveling by land is limited—there are no connecting roads between Greenland’s towns and villages, and railways and rivers are non-existent. Snowmobiles and dog sleds offer local transportation but are slow and impractical for long-distance travel.
While air travel is an option, it provides a much more detached experience of Greenland's rugged beauty. Seeing the landscapes from above is spectacular, but to truly immerse yourself in the Arctic wilderness, you need to get close to the ice, wildlife, and coastline that define Greenland’s character. This is where small-ship cruising offers an unparalleled advantage.
