Key Wilderness Regions to Explore

1. East Greenland – Scoresby Sund and Beyond

East Greenland is the epitome of raw wilderness. The fjord system of Scoresby Sund is the largest in the world, where giant icebergs drift silently through still waters. Here, you’ll kayak between ice giants, trek through mountainous valleys, and possibly spot narwhals or seals in the Arctic waters.

2. Arctic Circle Trail – Kangerlussuaq to Sisimiut

This legendary 160-kilometer trail is Greenland’s most famous backcountry hike. A self-supported or guided journey takes you through glacial valleys, Arctic tundra, freshwater lakes, and untouched terrain. Overnight in huts or camp under the endless Arctic sky.

3. Disko Island and Disko Bay

Explore volcanic landscapes, dramatic cliffs, and black sand beaches. The Disko Island area combines challenging hikes with remarkable whale-watching opportunities. It’s also a unique spot to witness calving glaciers up close.

4. South Greenland – Fjords and Farms

For those who want both nature and a touch of culture, South Greenland offers green pastures, Norse ruins, and scenic fjords. Multi-day boat trips and hikes take you through landscapes that change from lush valleys to icy summits.
