Greenland was recently voted by Lonely Planet as one of the top 10 countries to visit, and the world’s largest island certainly lives up to its new found reputation as a hot travel destination. As the biggest non-continental island on earth, Greenland is blessed with vast expanses of untouched wilderness, magnificent glaciers, relaxing hot springs and the world’s largest national park, the Northeast Greenland National Park. As the central region of the country is covered by thick ice, the majority of the 56,615 strong population resides in the warmer coastal areas. This coastal strip is strewn with picturesque little villages dotted with brightly painted wooden cottages, a number of small friendly towns, and of course the lively capital, Nuuk Town. These urban areas offer an intriguing mix of modern convenience and traditional Greenlandic culture such as the use of dog-sleds as a primary mode of transport! With its fascinating and unique cultural eccentricities, its abundance of remarkable wildlife, and its unbeatable scenery, Greenland always offers a truly unforgettable and exceptionally adventurous holiday experience.
