Cruise to Nanortalik, Greenland

For many travelers, Greenland is the last frontier. As the largest island in the world, Greenland is a hulking landmass almost entirely covered in ice and only conveniently accessible by air from either Denmark or Iceland. Luckily, it's also accessible by ship, making cruises to Nanortalik, Greenland, one of the best ways to experience the ancient and rugged island. Nanortalik, the southernmost town in Greenland, is known among Greenlanders for its stunning fjords, mountainscapes, traditional handmade crafts and Nordic history. One of the best things to do in Nanortalik, Greenland, is explore the Tasermiut Fjord, surrounded by dramatic mountain peaks. The truly adventurous can climb the sheer rock faces springing up from the water or go kayaking on the fjord itself. The Qinngua Valley, the only natural forest in Greenland, is also a must-visit, as well as the fascinating open-air museum in the old colonial port area.
