Greenland
This is the Arctic, a white fairy tale of breathtaking beauty on the top of our planet. With its icebergs, dramatic glaciers and endless ice cap, winter sports are available all year round in Greenland, the land of fantastic and semi-mythic proportions. With only 55,000 inhabitants, there's a lot of space and challenges for hikers, anglers, kayakers, mountain climbers or bikers. The Arctic is where you really want to be in the springtime, when long days, good snow cover and bearable temperatures abound. During the Arctic summer, the sun never sets. You can enjoy seeing large whales, seals, walruses, musk oxen, polar bears and even reindeer! Ancient culture is still alive here, with Inuit drum dances, kayak performances and colourful national costumes. Welcome to the last white spot on Earth!
