If you think Greenland is just snow and ice, think again. Ilulissat, located above the Arctic Circle, is home to some of the most breathtaking icebergs on Earth, calving from the massive Sermeq Kujalleq Glacier into the stunning Icefjord. Set sail through these massive floating ice sculptures, some as tall as skyscrapers, glowing in shades of crystal blue, white, and deep sapphire. You may even spot humpback whales breaching in the icy waters, or hear the thunderous crash of an iceberg breaking apart. For the ultimate Arctic adventure, visit in winter, when you can combine dog sledding, Northern Lights spotting, and sleeping in an ice hotel into one epic journey. Best Time to Go: June to September for midnight sun and iceberg cruises, or winter for Northern Lights.
