It has always been a dream of mine to visit Greenland, see its natural wonders and explore the things to do in Greenland. In September 2018 I finally got the chance and flew to the capital to explore the things to do in Nuuk before going on a tour to the Greenland Ice Cap where I also saw the spectacular Northern Lights.
I chose Nuuk as it is a great base for independent travelers for several tour options, hikes and sights in and around the capital while also offering fairly reasonable prices. You can use this video as a guide for your visit to Greenland and you are free to leave more tips and recommendations for things to do in Nuuk in the comment section below!

Wow. This is it. This is the end of it in Greenland.
It saddens me to know that it's all over but at least we went out with a bang. It was an incredible experience I will never forget.
Greenland is one of my favourite places in the world. I know I will be back. Soon.
I can't recommend enough to do a Ilulissat Iceberg boat tour. It's one of the things that the whole world talks about and it's a sight like no other.
Talk about feeling small in this world. Talk about witnessing something with your eyes that you have never seen before.
It's truly just magic.

Greenland is literally on the edge of the world and has a monotonous wild, natural beauty. It's not for all travelers, but one thing is for sure, it won't leave anyone unmoved.
Russell Glacier in Greenland
The Russell Glacier in Greenland is an impressive showcase of nature. It is hard to imagine that the immense ice sheet starting here actually covers most of the island! Complete mountain ranges are buried beneath the ice and it was a humbling experience to see a tiny part of that ice sheet with my own eyes. We had a great time walking the 25km extension from Kangerlussuaq as a warm up for our upcoming 170km trek on the Arctic Circle Trail. Climbing Sugar Loaf mountain twice, we got to see the airplane wreck, spent one night sleeping right in front of the glacier and the second one near the waterfalls in a gorge on the way back. Check out the video for some more impressions and I hope you like it!
Best Regards,

Greenland - dog sledding, boat trip to the ice cap and life in Ilullisat
WoofSnap in Greenland. Greenlandic dogs, their growing up and adult life.
WoofSnap has been deeply inspired by the visit to Greenland and experiencing adventures with dogs. It is such an integral part of the culture, as well as an important tourist attraction. The landscape, the sunsets while sledding with dogs - the beauty of Greenland is breathtaking. It deeply saddens us to see how Global Warming affects the livelihood of dogs, and we feel that it is our duty to inspire people to make changes to their lifestyle and help the environment. Having experienced the magic, we want people to know how fascinating Greenland is. And what better way to do it than through hitting the soft spots in their hearts through beautiful images of majestic dogs?
Please have a look at the Greenland album on our professional photography website:

Greenland ICE II - Arctic Ice Diving in 4K
this impressive land and underwater footage was captured during a winter tour at East Greenland.
Diving in the freezing cold waters of the arctic ocean is a challenge for the divers, the support team above water and of course the equipment.
The ice and weather conditions changed daily. At the beginning we had packice, a few days later the winds brought icebergs. After a week hundreds of icebergs right next each other were stranded in a bay.
This was my third trip to Greenland. These trips brought me the most impressive and unfortgetable moments.
A big thank you to the tour operator NORTHERN-EXPLORERS.COM for supporting my ideas and dive spot wishes!
You are the best!
Please share how amazing mother nature is!

Calvings at Eqi Glacier, plus art sketch, during 3 hours visit. Greenland, Ilulissat
During an 3 hour visit at the Eqi Glacier, a quite many calvings took place - a tremendous experience! The most amazing calvings takes place the last minutes! And please ignore my stupid exclamations!) The sketch at the beginning of the video was drawn 3 days before the video was taken, while listening to the thunderous movements of the Glacier slowly tumbling down the mountain.
You can reach the Glacier from Ilulissat in Northern Greenland, by ship or helicopter.
If you please; feel free to visit my website showing Fine Arts drawings and illustrations, many with inspirations from Greenland, since I'm half Greenlandic.

GREENLAND ADVENTURE 2017
We visited Greenland in July 2017 starting in Kangerlussaq we took a tour to the Icecap then hiked the Arctic Circle Trail to Sisimiut a wonderful coastal town. From Sisimiut we took the Arctic Umiaq Line coastal ferry north along the west coast to Ilulissat in Disko bay another colourful coastal town. We took a tour to Eqip Sermia, the calving glacier which was spectacular. Then we flew out to continue our adventure in Iceland.

ILULISSAT ICEFJORD - Greenland
Ilulissat Icefjord is a natural site of outstanding beauty created by inland ice and gigantic icebergs from the Sermeq Kujalleq glacier at the head of the fjord. In 2004, Ilulissat Icefjord was included on the UNESCO World Heritage List, hence achieving the highest international recognition for nature of irreplaceable value. The purpose of the World Heritage List is to protect the world's cultural and natural heritage from destruction and stringent requirements are enforced to be admitted to the list.
The Icefjord is 4 to 6 km wide and 70 km long. It is shaped like an elongated trough formed by drifting glacial ice that has cut deep into the bedrock for millennia like a river of gravel, stone, and ice. The fjord is over a thousand metres deep but at the mouth of the fjord, where it meets Disko Bay at Sermermiut south of Ilulissat, the largest icebergs run aground on the Iceberg Bank as the fjord here is only 200 to 300 metres deep. The banks were made up in pre-historic times by glacial deposits of stone and eroded material. It is an amazing view from Sermermiut overlooking the stranded icebergs – the largest of which can extend up to 100 metres above sea level.
Over the past ten years, the Sermeq Kujalleq glacier has doubled its speed so that today it moves at about 40 metres per day. That makes it one of the world's fastest glaciers. It calves an impressive 40 to 50 cubic kilometres of ice a year, equivalent to one tenth of the total production of icebergs from the Greenland ice sheet. If this amount of ice was melted it would provide enough water to cover all of the United States' annual water consumption.
The largest icebergs from Sermeq Kujalleq are up to 1.5 cubic kilometres with a height of up to 120 m above sea level. However, the majority of an iceberg, over 80% of its mass, is located below sea level.
The Sermeq Kujalleq glacier contributes to a rich marine environment in several ways. The melt-water from the glacier ice contains varying quantities of nutrients and the icebergs create turbulence in the water column when they melt or turn around. This brings relatively warm and nutrient-rich water from deeper layers to the surface. Along with the tide, which is up to three metres between high tide and low tide, these conditions create a dynamic environment that enhances planktonic growth, which in turn attracts fish and sea mammals. The Icefjord is particularly known for its fine stocks of halibut. The icebergs also make large parts of the fjord unreachable and therefore wildlife is relatively well protected from hunting and fishing.
ILULISSAT ISFJORD - Grønland
Ilulissat Isfjord er et enestående naturområde skabt af gigantiske isfjelde fra den store Sermeq Kujalleq-gletsjer i bunden af fjorden. I 2004 blev Ilulissat Isfjord optaget på UNESCOs liste over verdensarv og opnåede dermed den højeste internationale anerkendelse for natur af uvurderlig værdi. Formålet med UNESCOs liste er at beskytte verdens kulturarv og naturarv mod ødelæggelse, og der stilles høje krav for at blive optaget.
Isfjorden er 4-6 km bred og 70 km dyb. Den er som et meget langt trug skabt af isfjelde, der gennem årtusinder har skåret sig dybt ned i fjeldet som en flod af sten og is. Fjorden er over tusind meter dyb, men ved udmundingen i Diskobugten, nær Sermermiut syd for Ilulissat, støder de største isfjelde på grund på Isfjeldsbanken. Der er vanddybden nemlig kun 2-300 meter på grund af massive aflejringer af sten og eroderet materiale. Det er et fantastisk syn at stå ved Sermermiut og se ud over de strandede isfjelde, hvoraf de største rager næsten 100 meter op.
Sermeq Kujalleq-gletsjeren har de seneste 10 år fordoblet sin hastighed, så den i dag bevæger sig med omkring 40 meter i døgnet. Det gør den til en af verdens hurtigste gletsjere. Den kælver imponerende 40 til 50 kubikkilometer is om året, svarende til en tiendedel af hele produktionen af isfjelde fra Grønlands indlandsis. Smeltede man denne ismængde, var der nok vand til at dække USAs årlige vandforbrug.
De største isfjelde fra Sermeq Kujalleq fylder 1,5 km3. Hovedparten af et isfjeld (mindst 80%) befinder sig under havoverfladen. Der er målt isfjelde, der rager helt op til 120 m over havoverfladen.
