Iceland Online

A different country, unique and until very recently, isolated from Western customs and lifestyles. Discover iceberg-covered seas and the paradoxes of a country called "Green Land" which nevertheless has the second-largest polar ice cap in the world, just behind Antarctica.

In just a few days you will gain first-hand knowledge of the home of the Inuit and their history, the history of the first settlers in Greenland's most beautiful valleys, with impressive glaciers and more.

Iceland and Greenland are not far apart, so from Iceland it's just a short flight to land in Greenland, the largest island in the world and into untamed natural beauty called the Arctic.

During starry nights the Northern lights / Aurora Borealis can be seen in an awe-inspiring show, one that will remain in your memory for a long time.

GREENLAND is without doubt, a genuine land of contrasts.
