Greenland

• • • • • Covering an area of 2,166,086 sq. km (836,330 sq mi), Greenland (about 80% of which is ice-covered) is the world’s largest (non-continent) island, located between the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. As observed on the physical map of Greenland above, the coastline is rugged, mountainous, and for the most part, barren. The land then rises to a sloping icecap that covers (81%) most of the island. In places that ice has been measured at more than 11,000ft (3,350m) thick, countless (mostly small) rocky islands ring the coastline central to south, and much like Norway, fjords are plentiful. Some scientists have claimed that the Greenland ice sheet may actually conceal three large separate island land masses that have been bridged by glaciers since the last ice age. In 2002, as the ice in the far north began to melt, it left a small island exposed to daylight. Additional islands are expected to be discovered if that melting trend continues. There are nearly 40 glaciers covering the Greenland landmass, and one of the largest is the Peterman. Recently, a chunk of ice broke off the Peterman; an area of ice 100 sq. miles and 600ft thick. It is now drifting in a remote area called the Nares Strait between Greenland and Canada. Mountain ranges, either partly or totally buried by ice, fringe the toothy-edged coast. Greenland's highest mountains are the massive ice-covered peaks and exposed cliffs of the Watkins Range that run along it’s eastern coastline. The island's highest poi...

Love all things cold, and looking for that Where To, Next destination? It's time to add a Greenland is an absolutely gorgeous place, blessed with incredible physical beauty. The world’s largest island, it’s an independent territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. Roughly the same size as Mexico, about 80 percent of the land area is covered by the world’s second-largest polar ice sheet. It’s home to fewer than 60,000 people, about 90 percent of Indigenous descent. In the summer, Greenland's fjords are verdant and lovely. The arctic tundra blooming along cold blue waters, under craggy, snow-capped peaks, a hanging glacier seeming to appear on the heights, no matter where you look. The destination has appeared on more itineraries in recent years; Princess, Lindblad, Viking, Holland America, Seabourn, Silversea and others sail there. But while Greenland has often been a component of larger itineraries—often combined with Iceland, to the east, or Baffin Island in Canada, to the west—the expedition powerhouse cruise line Quark’s new Southern Greenland Adventure itinerary is unique among expedition companies and cruise lines. Designed in consultation with local, regional and national partners, it is the first and only trip to sail exclusively in the territory’s southern fjords. It offers options on land, sea and sky, opportunities to walk and bike and paddle where no humans (or, at least, very few) have gone before. And best of all, the voyage takes place on the line's newest expe...

(Show more) Greenland’s major physical feature is its massive ice sheet, which is second only to Jakobshavn Glacier, often moving 100 feet (30 metres) a day, is among the world’s fastest glaciers. The remaining ice-free land area occupies the country’s coastal areas and consists largely of highlands; mountain chains parallel the island’s east and west coasts, rising to 12,139 feet (3,700 metres) at
