GREENLAND is incredibly beautiful, no matter which season you choose to visit. The autumn is calm and peaceful after a short, hectic summer so you will have it more or less to yourself – together with the locals, of course.
Autumn is also a time when nature likes to reveal all its different sides – from stunning sunny days dressing the mountains in shades of golden brown, a must-see, to forceful autumn storms that mesmerize you with their harsh beauty, but also demand proper clothing.
Greenland is one of the best places in the world to spot the Northern Lights.
It has an unparalleled advantage over other Nordic countries in viewing the Northern Lights because of its great geographical location, where the Northern Lights belt covers more than 2/3 of Greenland’s territory.
The towns you will visit are in the very center of the Northern Lights belt. The chances of spotting the northern lights are relatively high. You can see the Northern Lights in different forms! During your stay, you can go to different locations to photograph the dazzling Northern Lights!
Advantages of viewing the Northern Lights in Greenland
- Good geographical location – the northern lights belt covers more than 2/3 of Greenland’s territory, a vast area from latitude 60 degrees north to latitude 72 degrees north
- Stable weather – In central Greenland, the weather is comparably stable. There are 300 cloudless days a year, and the sky is clear most of the time, which significantly increases the chance of viewing the Northern Lights
- Low light pollution – Greenland is sparsely populated and has very low light pollution. No matter where you are, you can see the Northern Lights just by looking up at the sky.
- Low Humidity – Due to low humidity, the body will not feel too cold even when staying outdoors to view the Northern Lights provided that you wear enough clothes.
- Long Northern Lights season – Greenland has a 7.5 – 8-month Northern Lights viewing period from late August to next year early April
- Beautiful scenery – In Greenland, there are mountains, lakes, glacial lakes, and colorful houses in the foreground, making the northern lights photos rich in content
ILULISSAT is the most popular tourist location in Greenland and is the only town in the world surrounded by an Ice fjord.
It is the third-largest town, with a population of about 4,500. It is located 250 km north of the Arctic Circle, on the edge of the magnificent Ilulissat Ice Fjord.
The Ilulissat Icefjord is 70 kilometers long, extending to the sea near the town. Countless huge icebergs are stacked here, and the scenery is very shockingly beautiful. In 2004, the Ilulissat Icefjord was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
KANGERLUSSUAQ is always beautiful and breathtaking – from the Greenland Icesheet to the midnight suns and delicate breeze to the dancing northern lights in autumn and winter with sled dogs and crackling snow.
It’s also the best place in Greenland to observe native wildlife, with large herds of muskoxen and caribou surrounding the town and Arctic fox slinking over the hills. Thanks to its inland position, the climate is one of the most stable in Greenland and is one of the best places to view the Northern Lights.
