Path less trodden: Dreamy photos of Greenland
Greenland is the world's largest island, and one of the least visited places in the world. The island’s stunning natural beauty and unique blend of indigenous Inuit culture and Danish influences are as unique as they come. Vast ice sheets, dramatic fjords and rugged mountains promise adventures like no other.
This island is quietly captivating the hearts of many who easily fall in love with all things offbeat, serene and unique. And for those who take time to warm up to slow travel, here are some of the best photos from Greenland to inspire travellers to take paths that are literally less trodden.
Greenland is vast!
This only means there’s so much more to explore. Greenland is the world's largest island, and it covers an area of over 2.1 million sq km. Despite its size, its population is relatively small (approximately 56,650).
Glaciers and ice sheets
Greenland has the second-largest ice sheet, after Antarctica of course. This ice sheet holds a considerable amount of freshwater.
Greenland’s unique geography
Greenland's landscape is mostly stunning fjords, mountains, and glaciers. It’s the combination of ice and dramatic terrain that makes the heart skip a beat, and in a good way. It is truly a breathtaking destination for nature enthusiasts.
Indigenous Inuit culture
Greenland is home to the indigenous Inuit people, who have, in a unique way, adapted to the harsh Arctic environment. Their culture is rich, and traditional practices such as dog sledding and hunting continue to be an integral part of the island's culture.
For the love of Arctic wildlife
Greenland's remote location is home to various Arctic wildlife including polar bears, seals, whales, bisons and seabirds. The relatively untouched environment of Greenland is why these birds and animals thrive here.
Greatest Northern Lights display
Due to Greenland’s location, here you get an excellent chance to view the amazing Northern Lights, also known as Aurora Borealis.
Adventures in Greenland
For those interested in adventure travel, Greenland has stunning hiking trails, and kayaking and ice climbing opportunities. Diving among icebergs is also slowly becoming a thing among adventure seekers.
Unique interaction with the wild
There are boat tours and cruises in the waters surrounding Greenland that will let you see whales and seals up close.
Prettiest in the summer season
Thanks to its geographical location, Greenland is mostly a cold destination. But during the summer season, there is a short respite from the icy white. This is when you get to see the endless stretch of the rugged terrain, mostly grassy.
