Groenland

Erik the Red gave her the name of "green earth" when, exiled from Iceland in 982, it reached the southern coast freed from ice and snow for the spring thaw. A trip to this land is a unique experience for those seeking contact with nature primordial and untouched, with its landscapes, one of the most beautiful in the world, surrounded by contrasting colors, the blinding white of immense glaciers, deep blue of the iceberg, the deep blue crystalline sky and the thrilling light of the sun at midnight. A journey which is also meeting with the Inuit people. From the regions of Central Asia survived and adapted to extreme conditions of life, the Inuit have been hunting whales, seals and walruses, all of which still represent an important source of income. A meeting with the ancient customs that are expressed through crafts, dances and traditional dress, all manifestations of a social fabric and culture alive. Live as the beautiful natural environment that surrounds them, where reign the polar bear, seal, the walrus, the whale, reindeer and musk ox. Live as part of Disko Bay, one of the most spectacular in the world, where huge icebergs detach from the ice cap and dive into the sea.
