Winter Aurora Adventure at the Polar Circle

5 nights

Greenland is a country of fascinating culture and spectacular wildlife. The winter months offer many activities such dog sledding, snow mobiling and the opportunity to witness the magnificent aurora borealis. The summer months provide a vast contrast with melting ice in the fjords opening up boat tour possibilities and the chance to view the icebergs in the glacial regions. A trip to Greenland can be combined with a holiday to Iceland.
