    Kalaallit Nunaat is the local name for Greenland.

    In fact Greenland is a province of Denmark, and it is the biggest island in the world. It is about 50 times the size of Holland.

    Greenland is covered with ice for about 80 percent, which is the size of Germany, France, Spain and Italy together.

    It was great to see this amazing scenery from the air.

    This rough country must be a real challenge for the outdoor traveller.

    What amazing views should one encounter when you hike in such rough and natural environment. Of course you need good equipment, good physical condition, descent preparation and a good guide.
