How to get to Greenland
Interested in how to get to Greenland? In this video, we talk about the basics of international travel to Greenland and how to get to Greenland.
Commercial airlines are the only way to get to Greenland unless you arrive on a cruise ship. There are 4 cities worldwide with direct flights to Greenland which are Copenhagen, plus three cities in Iceland (Reykjavik, Keflavik and Akureyri). Direct flights to Greenland from Iceland take around 2-3 hours, while the flight from Copenhagen to Greenland takes around 4 hours. The two airlines that currently fly to Greenland are the local airline Air Greenland and Air Iceland.
There are no direct connections from North America to Greenland at this point. However, daily connections from Canada and the US allow for an easy one-connection trip to Greenland.
All five regions in Greenland have at least one international airport with Kangerlussuaq Airport (SFJ) being the biggest transportation hub in Greenland. There are also many domestic airports that connect the other towns and settlements and make it easy to get around in Greenland.

Domestic Transportation in Greenland
#greenlandtravel #travelingreenland #greenlandtourism
This video gives you a short guide on domestic transportation within Greenland.
In Greenland, there are no roads outside of inhabited places and there are no inter-city roads, train tracks, or Autobahn. However, there are other transportation methods in place that make it easy for you to get around and that will turn your journey into an adventure itself.
The quickest way to get around is by plane or helicopter. The domestic flights are operated by Visit Greenland, the local airline. Eventhough, for domestic flights smaller propeller planes are used, they're still too big to land in some places, which is why in addition to 14 airports there are also 47 helistops and heliports in Greenland.
If you're looking for an even more scenic journey, sea transportation is for you. As most places in Greenland are located at the coast, sailing is part of the way of life here. Sarfaq Ittuk, a passenger ferry that sails around the west coast of Greenland, makes 11 port calls in 3 days. On-board passengers overnight in comfortable cabins and have a cafeteria available that serves three meals a day. At the stops, travelers are free to explore the area by themselves or take tours.
Another way of getting around in Greenland are cruise ships which vary in size and days spent on the water. Local companies also offer charter services which are small or medium boats with a capacity of 10- 40 persons. For the adventurous traveler, there's also the possibilty of traveling by Kayak.
Traveling by foot via hiking routes is another option to get around in Greenland. In many places in Greenland, hiking paths take you from the outskirts of the town to a neighboring settlement. Depending on the route, these trips can take from a few hours to a few days.
Travel by dogsled, Greenland's original land transportation, is another way of traveling and is part cultural experience, part nature excursion. Today, a modern juxtaposition to the dog sled that serves as yet another way of transportation is the snowmobile.

This is Nuuk! - Greenland's Capital City Will Surprise You! (Cultural Travel Guide)
Founded as Godthåb by Hans Egede (The Apostle of Greenland), Nuuk is Greenland's capital and principal urban centre. As more Greenlanders become attracted to the capital's economic and cultural opportunities the pace of construction is relentless. This growth is both exciting and challenging. This short film provides some historical context as well as an overview of the sights and sounds. A particular thank you goes out to Ejvind Elsner of Atlantic Music for his hospitality and insight.
In response to the many negative comments about the comment in the film about the legacy of the missionary Hans Egede I would like to point out that this is not my personal view - it is the established Greenlandic view as expressed to visitors of the National Museum.
From the Greenland National Museum & Archive website:-
“The last 50 years have brought new perspectives on the significance of Hans Egede's influence on Greenland. In 1971, Greenland's 250th anniversary was celebrated in different ways, but largely expressed a very romantic notion of Hans Egede as a father-type figure to Greenland and the country's union with Christendom. Now in 2021, Hans Egede's arrival is seen in a more nuanced way. The focus is on reconciling a complicated past with the benefit of perspective and a more thoughtful understanding of the enduring influence of Christianity on Greenlandic society and culture. This includes changing political perspectives that have in recent years shifted public expressions of the 1721 anniversary from jubilant affairs to more respectful observances.”

I Went to Greenland's Most Remote Town (Ittoqqortoormiit)

???? Get My Top 100 Travel Pics FREE!
WELCOME TO ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST ISOLATED PLACES - GREENLAND!
Today I arrived in one of the world's most remote villages, way out here on the rugged North Eastern shores of Greenland. It's called Ittoqqortoormiit (say that 5 times fast) and it's a fascinating place that feels like I'm on the moon!
Very few outsiders have ever visited this village because it's so remote, and I'm lucky to be one of them on board this Hurtigruten expedition!
Ittoqqortoormiit has a population of around 350 and the nearest town is thousands of kilometers away. The locals are called Inuits (the same ethnic group as Eskimos), and they survive from hunting and eating polar bears, walrus, seals, and whales.

What is it like Living in Greenland?
Greenland is likely to evoke mental pictures of polar bears, icebergs, the northern lights, and Inuit culture and lifestyle. We think you'll appreciate this northern gem as much as we do. People's perceptions of Greenland are often incorrect, and we hope this video may dispel some of those myths. How about we get going?
Everyday Food.
Greenlanders often eat a lot of canned goods, as well as canned fish, potatoes, and vegetables. Many Inuit tribes also rely heavily on seal and polar bear meat. Incredible dining options can be found all around the western coast of Greenland. While that may be true, it is not well known. Greenlandic delicacies are often reserved for the most discerning of diners (unless you happen to be Inuit), leading many to get a false idea of the cuisine outside of Greenland.
An Infinite Supply of Sunlight
Learn what it's like to have sunshine on your face for all 24 hours of the day. Just picture yourself seeing the sun set (it does not truly set) and then rising again an hour later. Greenland's summers are nonstop celebrations.
What it's like to live in Greenland and learn about its culture and music
The Greenlandic people have always placed a high value on the arts, both historically and now. With such a small population, Greenland is home to a surprisingly robust music culture, with several performers garnering worldwide acclaim.
Greenlandic literature began with the oral transmission of Greenland's rich oral tradition of myths and stories. Many of these have been memorialized in print and are readily available at this time.
While Greenlanders have a long history of performing for one another, it wasn't until 1984 that a professional theater company was founded, and it wasn't until 2011 that the country's first theater school opened.
Greenland is home to a rich history of craftsmanship. Greenlanders traditionally wear colorful woolen knitwear (anoraks) and handcrafted boots (kamiks). Fur and sealskins have been vital to Greenlanders' survival in the north for centuries, but in recent years, Greenlandic design has exploded, reaching new levels of creativity by fusing worldwide and Greenlandic fashions with the inventive use of fur and skin goods.
Fundamental Economic Principles
Standard of living and unemployment in Greenland are on par with those in mainland Europe (officially about 10 percent in the mid-1990s, with the public sector accounting for almost two-thirds of all jobs). While its GDP is more than $1 billion each year, the Danish government provides almost half of its budgetary support. The Greenlandic economy experienced a downturn in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Recent years have had budget surpluses and low inflation, but there is rising concern that overfishing may soon cause severe fisheries depletion. Small, remote Inuit communities in northern and eastern Greenland rely heavily on subsistence hunting for food and clothing (mainly polar bear and seal furs). Some Inuit communities have also profited from the International Whaling Commission's (IWC) recent decision to offer Greenland special authority to participate in limited aboriginal subsistence whaling.
Literature, Music, Art, and All Other Humanities Topics
Help for the Creative Sector. Greenland's artistic and literary communities get some funding from the government since the Greenlandic and Danish governments recognize the value of the arts in attracting tourists. However, the Inuit communities' robust creative history is by far the most important factor in the ongoing survival of Greenlandic arts.
Literature.
Inuit mythologies and moral codes, as well as the connection between the Inuit and the animals (seal, bear, walrus, whale, fox, etc.) on which they depended for existence, have long been central to Greenland's rich oral storytelling heritage (stories and songs). The most accomplished exponents of this art form are still held in high regard in Greenlandic society. While the tradition of writing and reading is still developing in Greenland, it is becoming more and more widespread.

Ilulissat - Greenland Travel (No. 1 Destination) - Visit The City of Icebergs! - (Travel Guide)
Travel to Greenland means experiencing a unique Inuit culture - and Icebergs! Ilulissat is one of the world's most remarkable destinations. Situated where the UNESCO recognised Ilulissat Icefjord enters Disko Bay, the town watches over a procession of icebergs that mesmerise with their fantastical shapes and colours. It is also a centre for sledge-dog culture and the howls of the dogs are an ever-present soundtrack. This short film provides a brief history of the settlement and also visits the Icefjord Centre, the Icefjord itself, and the Knud Rasmussen museum before taking to the water to view the icebergs up close. Thank you to Casper Christensen of Disko Line Explorer for providing a fascinating insight into the impact of climate change on this unique location.

Why Greenland, and why now?
Greenland is sort of the Midwest of the planet, in that everyone flies over it but few consider visiting. It’s more than 20 times the size of Iceland but has one-sixth the population. At more than 836,000 square miles, Greenland is the world’s largest island, but home to only around 56,000 people. For comparison, my hometown of Littleton, Colorado, population 46,000, is less than 14 square miles.
Thanks to the Iceland tourism boom, there are cheap flights via Reykjavik all the time; from Reykjavik, the flight to the small airport at Constable Point on East Greenland is only about an hour and a half. The airport sits near the mouth of Kangertittivaq, or Scoresby Sund — the largest fjord in the world. Nearby is Ittoqqortoormiit, the northernmost community in East Greenland. Otherwise, no one lives here.
Western Greenland has seen an increase in tourism in recent years around Ilulissat and the capital city of Nuuk, but the East coast remains largely off the grid and inaccessible as far as travel goes. You mostly hear about the Antarctic ice sheet, but our planet has two such sheets, the second covering most of Greenland. As there’s not much in the way of land-based infrastructure (most is concentrated on the West coast), Scoresby Sund can really only be seen by boat.
Polar cruises are the best way to travel
There are many excellent cruises in the world, but I am normally opposed to them due to the fact that while I do not fear enclosed spaces, I do fear enclosed spaces promising Organized Fun with strangers. This fear, however, is not as strong as my desire to spend as much time as possible in the Arctic Circle, and when Quark Expeditions invited me on a 10-day trip around Scoresby Sund they also turned me into a person who was excited to go on a cruise.
It helped that this was not a typical cruise. Small adventure cruises (maybe 100 people, including crew) like this are growing in popularity as an alternative to the cartoonish, supersized outings around the Caribbean etc. Quark specializes in polar expeditions -- both Arctic and Antarctic -- and are one of very few cruise lines that go to Greenland’s east coast. The ones that do tend to make it a drive-by on routes that focus on other destinations like Norway.
Packages vary; the specific trip I joined, “Greenland’s Northern Lights,” runs $6,695. You’ll want to budget a few hundred dollars more for add-ons like kayaking, drinking, silent auction-bidding and, of course, tipping. Quark’s expedition crew are all knowledgeable in different areas — history, marine biology, glaciology, and photography — so the cruise feels very deliberate — rest assured, you’re not just getting mindlessly steered around. An average cruise day would include breakfast followed by a morning activity like a hike, kayak expedition or Zodiac cruise, an up-close tour of icebergs and glaciers upon inflatable boats. After lunch, afternoon activities continue in the same vein. The itinerary is pretty flexible, contingent on weather and unexpected experiences like bear sightings.
Wait, will I see polar bears?
Polar bears only evolved around 150,000 years ago, but are predicted to go extinct within the next couple of decades, a sad, tiny blip in this planet’s history. And sure you can see them in zoos, but seeing them in the wild is something else entirely. On day one of Quark’s cruise, we saw 11 polar bears -- females with cubs making their way down to the water and disappearing into slow-moving wakes as they started to swim, and even lone males moving steadily across high plateaus, getting harder and harder to find again in binoculars as it started to snow. Pro-tip: Polar bears are generally best viewed during the brief summer season.
One of the things the Arctic has over the Antarctic is that it’s an incredible wildlife destination -- a region where you can see not just polar bears, but musk ox, arctic fox, arctic hare, seals, whales, maybe even narwhals. (Narwhals aren’t likely, TBH, as they’re an exceedingly rare sighting, but perhaps you’ll be one of the lucky ones.) If you’re mostly interested in wildlife, Quark offers focused packages that get you tracking down your favorite critters.
