The snow-white tundra landscapes, humungous glaciers, igloos, Eskimos and dogsleds, Greenland has that alluring mysterious quality about it. The unique topography of the region has made it home to some of the most spectacular natural phenomena like the Aurora borealis and Fata Morgana effect, which are mirage-like visual illusions.
Rugged mountains, fjords, islands, glaciers, sea and the sheer cold make this place an adventure destination for the hardiest travel stalwart. Plenty of sightseeing around the cities at the tip of the world will keep you busy. All in all Greenland makes for an extraordinary vacation in every sense of the word.
