The Big Ice

Greenland

The world's largest island — a realm of icebergs, calving glaciers and the great icefjord, where Inuit culture meets the high Arctic.

The range
From the capital Nuuk to the Ilulissat icefjord, Disko Bay, and the vast fjords of East Greenland
Why it's special
An ice sheet covering most of the island feeds some of the most productive glaciers on earth
