 Active Students would love Greenland, If you're searching for greater adventures that college and university just can't offer, this is the place for you.
Greenland has a potential for outdoor adventures that very few places on this planet can match. The breathtaking Arctic scenery is almost endless on the world's largest island, and with a total population of only 55,000 you are truly on your own as soon as you leave one of the small towns and settlements. Human civilisation is the exception in this country. The mountains, valleys, rivers and gigantic ice cap are practically virgin land.
Hikers will experience unspoiled scenery no matter where and how. You can walk from hut to hut or - in South Greenland - from sheep croft to sheep croft. Experienced mountain hikers will find challenges with unique awards of beauty in every part of Greenland.
Several travel agencies offer hiking tours to Greenland. Alternatively you can plan your own trip. Ensure you have detailed hiking maps!
 The kayak was originally developed by hunters in Greenland, and today kayaking is experiencing a renaissance. The fjords, straits and archipelagos are ideal waters, and several tourist offices have sea kayaks for rental - from just a few hours to several weeks. Your experience will most likely include icebergs, seals and whales.
Greenland offers adventures of ice and snow like nowhere else on this planet. The ice cap - up to three kilometres thick - covers an area 14 times the size of England, and icebergs snap off the glaciers at the edges of the ice cap.
