Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, but has a high degree of self-government, which was last extended in 2009. Self-government does not include matters of national politics, such as foreign and security policy.

Greenland is located in the polar climate zone, where temperatures in winter can drop as low as -50°C. Greenland does not get the Gulf Stream effect, so during the summer, temperatures rarely rise above 15°C. However, due to Greenland’s size, temperatures can vary significantly from region to region.

• The population is 56,421 people (as of June 2021). The indigenous people, the Inuit, make up a clear majority on the island. During the trip, you’ll learn more about the Inuit culture and may even have the opportunity to get to know some locals better.
• The official language in Greenland is Greenlandic, which most of the people speaks. Many also understand Danish, and some consider themselves bilingual, with Danish as a second language.
• The capital of Greenland is Nuuk (Godthåb).
• Greenland is the world’s largest island and is located on the North American continent. Geopolitically, the island is part of Europe.
• As much as 80% of Greenland is covered by ice

• We stop at a small settlement that rarely gets visitors – a big event both for us and the locals.
• In Greenland, there are almost no roads between the settlements, and all transportation occurs by boats and ships in the summer or by small planes and helicopters in the winter. The fact that we can move around by boat and get so close to nature is truly special!
• Majestic icebergs rising in the fjord arms, where you can listen to the sounds of ice moving.
• Wildlife we frequently encounter is the musk ox, whales, polar bears, arctic foxes, and walruses. Remember to keep a lookout!
