We wish we could spend every moment kayaking among the glaciers of Alaska or trekking the savannas of Tanzania. But since most of us have day jobs that require a different sort of landscape, we plan many weekends around how to make the most of exploring wilderness closer to home.

Of all the places I’ve traveled to, Greenland is the most complicated, I think. While there are commonalities with other spots in the world, Greenland always seems to put its own, special twist on things.
