Why leave to Greenland ?

Travelling to Greenland is like discovering a vast territory with a population of less than 60,000. The largest island in the world is none other than the country with the lowest population density (0.026 inhabitants/km2 against 98.8 in France). Its capital Nuuk is also one of the smallest capitals in the world with 17,136 inhabitants! It is a rough, mountainous land, so contrasting with the enormous polar cap, the ice sheet at its centre and an adventurous and welcoming people at its heart. From the desert landscapes of the Arctic in the Far North to the influences of the Atlantic and the lush sheep farms in the south, a distinct cultural and climatic diversity shapes the Greenlanders' way of life in the geographical vastness of their island as much as it will inspire your journey. Hunting, fishing, wireless Internet are all points that allow you to keep in touch with your roots, communicate between different parts of the country and move forward. Greenlanders live under the northern lights in winter and the midnight sun in summer, in a land where dog sledding and skateboarding exist side by side, where fishermen and academics come from the same families, and can communicate wirelessly while sailing between huge icebergs... All this makes Greenland an exciting destination for all open-minded travellers with a desire for adventure, seeking to learn more about the nature, climate, culture and spirit of Greenland.
