Greenland – Iceberg Capital of the World

The name Greenland means "Land of People."Many of the picturesque icebergs along Greenland's west coast calve from two North Greenland glaciers, and as luck would have it, they share the same name! The largest collection of icebergs in Greenland exists at the Ilulissat Icefjord. True to its "iceberg capital of the world" nickname, Ilulissat is home to thousands of icebergs that can be seen year round by hiking, sailing, or flightseeing.
The sun does not set from May 25th to July 25th. June 21, the longest day of the year, is a national holiday. July is the only month when Greenland's temperature reaches above freezing South Greenland is a special place for iceberg watching for not one, but two, phenomena! Blue ice is rampant in South Greenland.
