Discover, for example, the very pretty town of Qaqortoq, and from there take the boat to visit the Viking ruins of Hvasley. On the island of Uunartoq, bathe in the hot springs, close to the icebergs: an unforgettable sensation. Sail between blocks of ice from Disko, a typical West Coast village. To admire the magic of the aurora borealis, autumn is the ideal season. In June, you will have the right to the midnight sun. And still, offshore, you will see colonies of walruses, seals, narwhals, whales and penguins. And on earth, muskoxen, reindeer, and maybe even polar bears ... If you hike on the south coast, you will discover in summer the vegetation in full bloom: another amazing vision of the country! Sports enthusiasts will be able to enjoy fishing, kayaking, mountain climbing and mountain biking. |
