GREENLAND

​

Greenland (Greenlandic: Kalaallit Nunaat, Danish: Grønland) is the world's largest non-continental island, three-quarters of which is covered by a permanent ice sheet. With a population of around 56000, it is the least densely populated territory in the world. All the populated areas of Greenland are situated along the ice-free coast.

 

I travelled to South Greenland in August 2018, visiting (and sailing between) Prins Christian Sund, Qaqortoq, Narsarsuaq and Nanortalik. I absolutely loved Greenland with its beautiful scenery, picturesque towns and villages, misty mountains, icebergs, glaciers, wonderful light and lots of whales! So much so that on my return I immediately booked to go to West Greenland in August 2020. On that trip I started in Nuuk and took the coastal ferry north for three days, to Ilulissat where I spent six days.
