Few places on Earth still fit this description, but the remote, beautiful landscapes of Greenland more than qualify. Experience true wilderness, amazing birdlife, pristine scenery, and the Viking heritage of Iceland and Greenland. Following the Vikings path, go ashore on the island of Uunartoq and soak in natural hot springs amidst mountain peaks and drifting icebergs. Discover the Ilulissat Icefjord, on UNESCO's World Heritage List, where enormous icebergs crack, rumble, and change color under the midnight sun.

The trip was terrific with great planning on your part. Most of the adventures were not mainstream and somewhat off the beaten path which made it especially enjoyable!! We felt taken care of and you all were readily available to respond to questions and issues. I would highly recommend your company and friends have already expressed interest based on our pictures and excitement.
