Wild Landscapes of West Greenland

Resting at the top of a viewpoint in Ilulissat, Greenland, with stunning views of the icy landscape -

Welcome to Aurora’s Wild Landscapes of West Greenland expedition.

West Greenland is home to Nuuk, the world’s northernmost capital. Although it’s the most inhabited part of Greenland, the island remains sparsely populated. Outside of Nuuk, you’re unlikely to encounter many people, offering a truly remote experience. With no road to connect the townships, flying or sea travel are the only options available. The further north we venture along the west coast, the smaller and more isolated the settlements become. We push through the sea ice, calved from the enormous Greenland ice sheet to where few tourists venture, to explore hidden bays glittering with icebergs and where whales may shelter.


Wild Landscapes of West Greenland Highlights:

• Stand in awe of Ilulissat Icefjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site
• Witness the remarkable geology on Disko Island, featuring some of the oldest geological features on Earth
• In genuine expedition style, we forge as far north as possible along Greenland’s west coast, where few travellers venture, and where the night sky may surprise you with a dazzling display you’ll never forget
• Discover life in Nuuk, the world’s northernmost capital
