Ilulissat Ice-fjord

Huge glaciers "calve", which is a term for when icebergs break off from the glaciers and float out into the coastal waters, in this stunning berg-strewn part of shoreline in Disko Bay, making it deservedly Greenland's most visited region and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004. If you're fortunate enough to arrive at the proper time, this is the ideal location to see this breathtaking natural wonder. It may be observed from land, unlike other ice fjords in Greenland.

The enormous Sermeq Kujalleq glacier feeds into the bay and flows at a pace of roughly 25 meters (82 feet) per day. It is more than five kilometers wide and one kilometer thick. Prepare yourself for breathtaking scenery and nature at its most majestic. Disko Bay is remarkable for its historical value as the location of Erik the Red's colony in 985 CE. Visit the Emanuel A. Petersen Art Museum in Ilulissat to view the collection of Greenland paintings.
