The mighty bright one
With 2,8 million cubic kilometers of ice locked in the Greenland Ice Cap, every single person on this planet has a 475 million liter freshwater reservoir in store.
Now, let’s not rush to fetch that water right now. Instead we’ll go and explore the Ice Cap from the end of the only road in Greenland leading right up to the glacier front.
So jump in a customized trail bus, bike the road, or hike it over a couple of days right out of Kangerlussuaq. And for those hardy adventurers you can spend one or several nights up there on the ice with exceptionally skilled guides. Or why not cross it while you’re at it?
