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.

This was our first trip to South America and we were a little nervous. But Adventure Life made things so easy! All our questions were answered before we left, and our guide, Vidal, was amazing! He gave us enough space to explore without rushing us along. He also knew where the best picture taking opportunities were, which was great.
