The journey includes:<\/strong><\/p>\n Arctic Umiac Line is a passenger ship that serves cities and settlements, travelers and locals for whom the ship is a means of transportation.<\/p>\n Qaqortoq, with just under 3,000 inhabitants, is the largest town in South Greenland. The area is ideal for hiking the same trails that the area’s sheep use. The vegetation here is proportionately more lush than the rest of Greenland, and trees, shrubs and herbs seem very present on the many hiking trails.<\/p>\n We recommend checking out the permanent exhibition “Stone and Man”, where 18 Nordic artists have created over 30 works of art, either by carving directly into the city’s rocks and hard granite, or into boulders around the city and its surroundings.<\/p>\n Uunartoq is known for having Greenland’s only hot spring and where the water temperature is suitable for swimming. Warm water bubbles up through the sand, just a few meters from the fjord, and it’s quite amazing to descend into the water with a view of the icebergs. The island is relatively isolated and there is a sense of being far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and with the opportunity to explore the ruins of old Norse settlements, time can somehow seem to stand still.<\/p>\n Perhaps it’s the feeling of “landing in a good place” that our travelers tell us makes Igaliku a place you want to visit again and again. has a small airport and may appear to be the gateway to South Greenland. With history from World War II and the Cold War, a museum, cafe and restaurant, as well as the Flower Valley with orchids and meltwater in the river and icebergs floating in the fjord, the village has a wealth of significant opportunities to see, taste and touch.<\/p>\n From Narsarsuaq you can go on a tour and experience the ice cap. It is not possible to walk on the ice sheet at this destination as the glacier has collapsed, but can be seen from a distance (and felt in the cold that hits you).<\/p>\n [vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#ffffff” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” top_margin=”10″ column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":2269,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[122,124,88,118,86,108,123,121,113,115,36,116,42,37],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-6155","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-adulthood","8":"category-art-and-culture","9":"category-atv-en","10":"category-boat-trips","11":"category-family-travel","12":"category-fishing-trip","13":"category-gastronomy","14":"category-hiking-tours","15":"category-kayak","16":"category-nature-and-wildlife-en","17":"category-package-tours","18":"category-paddleboarding-en","19":"category-south-greenland","20":"category-summer"},"yoast_head":"\n\n
