Reise-Taschenbuch Reiseführer Grönland

About the Book

Interest in the polar regions has increased significantly in recent years. Greenland, the largest island in the world, is becoming an increasingly popular destination for vacations. The focus is particularly on Greenland's massive glaciers, which calve into the sea with a thunderous roar at the edges of the kilometer-thick ice sheet. Towering icebergs, seemingly weightless, drift through the Kangia Fjord into the open sea.

Right on the first pages of the DuMont Travel Guide to Greenland, author Sabine Barth reveals how and where to get close to the ice, and explains how to explore the cold island independently. Among the author's personal favorite spots are the cemetery with a view in Upernavik and the assembly hall in Aasiaat featuring a painting by Per Kirkeby.

A special highlight of this travel guide is the many active tours, such as a hike up Mount Ukkusissat, complete with hiking descriptions and detailed maps. The book is also worthwhile for cruise travelers, as the latest edition describes the anchor points of cruise ships in East Greenland.
