]]>Beautiful Nature
Greenland, the world’s largest island, is a treasure trove of natural wonders waiting to be explored. One of the most captivating reasons to visit Greenland is its awe-inspiring landscapes. Picture vast stretches of rugged mountains, majestic fjords, and serene tundra that seems to stretch into infinity.
Unique Icebergs
But it’s not just the landscapes that make Greenland extraordinary; it’s also the mesmerizing icebergs. As you navigate through Greenland’s waters, you’ll witness colossal ice formations glistening under the Arctic sun. These towering ice sculptures, created by ancient glaciers, come in an array of shapes and sizes, each more captivating than the last.
AlessiaFascinating Culture
Beyond its natural splendors, Greenland is home to a rich and vibrant culture. The indigenous Inuit people have inhabited this land for thousands of years, preserving their traditions and way of life. Immerse yourself in their warm hospitality, savor traditional cuisine, and engage in cultural activities like dogsledding or whale watching.

]]>Bundle Up—Seriously
First things first, let’s talk about the weather. Greenland is, well, pretty cold. Even in the summer, temperatures can be brisk, so packing warm clothing is essential. Don’t forget your cozy layers, a good winter coat, and sturdy boots to keep your feet dry and warm.
Go Exploring
When it comes to exploring, Greenland offers a plethora of activities. From icebergs to hot springs, there’s something for everyone. To name a couple of things you can try, take a boat tour to get up close and personal with massive glaciers or go dog sledding through snow-covered landscapes.
Immerse Yourself in the Culture
Greenland’s rich culture is another highlight. The natives who live there, known as the Inuit, have a fascinating history. Be sure to engage with locals and learn about their way of life. You might even get a taste of authentic Greenland cuisine (although it consists of whale meat, if you’re into that sort of thing).

]]>However, the significance of this seemingly ordinary stop soon became clear. It turned out this wasn’t Oodaq Island as the team initially thought, but a previously undocumented island that now bears the title of the northernmost landmass in the world.
The newly discovered island isn’t large; it’s about 100 by 150 feet and about 10 to 13 feet above sea level. The interesting question is how did it go undetected until now?
Scientists theorize that the unnamed island might have been covered by pack ice or that it’s only been recently formed by storm events. Moreover, the island is so remote, it’s no wonder no one stumbled upon it before.
Visiting Greenland, in general, is definitely an experience of a lifetime—remarkable landscapes, exceptional wildlife, and iceberg choked fjords make Grenland a destination unlike any other.

]]>Northeast Greenland National Park
Greenland is the most sparsely populated country in the world due to extreme weather conditions, which makes this park extremely hard to access. The park is 375,000 square miles, making it both the largest national park in the world and the most northern one as well. Arctic foxes, musk oxen, and polar bears are some of the wildlife to see, and there are less than 50 human inhabitants in the entire area!
Namib Naukluft Park, Namibia
Coming in at far 2nd place is the Namib Naukluft Park at a little under 20,000 square miles. The biggest national park in Africa is located in Namibia and is famous for its beautifully shaped sand dunes. Sossusvlei is the most visited area, where many dunes are available to climb. Legend has it that someone installed a solar-powered speaker system somewhere in the Namibian Desert to play “Africa” by Toto for all eternity!
Wood Buffalo National Park, Canada
Canada’s biggest national park is the world’s 3rd largest at 17,300 square miles. Established in 1922 to protect the rapidly depleting wood bison, it is now home to the largest population of them in the world. The incredible green landscape and many rivers make this a great park to visit both for the views and the wildlife.
