There are few regions on Earth quite as exhilarating as the Arctic, with this icy landscape at the very top of the world remaining wild and unconquered, despite having attracted adventurous explorers for hundreds of years. Among the best places to discover the many charms of the extreme north is Greenland, which is famous for its incredible fjords, stunning glaciers and legendary ice sheet.
Narsarsuaq is the first port of call for most visitors to Greenland, with the town being home to an international airport and a harbour. As soon as you arrive, you are able to begin your exploration of the island without wasting a moment, as the glacial wilderness begins right where the airport runway ends.
A short hike around the surrounding areas will quickly bring you into contact with the likes of the Narsarsuaq glacier, as well as a majestic fjord. Kayaking is another exciting way to get around, and as you make your way across the mirror-like surface of the fjord you'll come across some amazing icebergs drifting past you.
Approaching the glacier, you'll even be able to witness new icebergs being formed as they calve from the ice-face itself.
