| GREENLAND: Icebergs, Arctic Wildlife & Northern Lights
When visiting Greenland, many people want to see the icebergs, and the best destination for icebergs is without a doubt Ilulissat. Northern Lights are also glimped here - though in order to insure a higher possibility of experiencing the Northern Lights and to see the Arctic Wildlife, this Ilulissat winter program also includes a two-night stay in Kangerlussuaq. The domestic flight from Kangerlussuaq to Ilulissat is a true excursion where the arrival and departure in low altitude over the amazing ice fjord is quite an experience. It will be easy to understand why the Ilulissat Ice Fjord is on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
