THE SOUND OF
SNOWFLAKES
In wintertime in the Arctic, there is nothing more magic than snowflakes dropping
silently from the sky, except when you hear them!
Can you really hear a snowflake? Of course you can!
But first you have to try to live life like Greenlanders
do; connect to the present moment – for instance by
turning off your electronic devices for a while.
It will give you a rare opportunity to truly connect
with yourself or other people that matter to you.
And how about doing that somewhere in the
.
per cent of Greenland’s land surface that is not
populated? For instance at this place, Ilulissat
Icefjord, where you can gaze at the stars, the aurora
borealis and icebergs.
In the midst of fells and frozen fjords you will see
the simple beauty of our most delicate mineral
that has ended up shaping our country through
thousands of years: Snow! You will smell fresh air
like it smelled back in Polar Exploration’s Golden
Age. And the loudest ‘noise’ you will hear will be
distinct squeaking sounds from your boots as you
step on the newly fallen snowflakes.
Let Air Greenland help you to connect to what really
matters, and to over
silent, and snow-covered
destinations around our country.

Snowshoeing in Ilulissat
Seeing a UNESCO World Heritage Site from first row with
snowshoes strapped to your feet is otherworldly and unforget-
table. And believe it or not, even though this place has become
iconic over the past
-
years, even in the peak of winter
season you won’t meet hordes of people there – if any at all.
Northern Lights in Nuuk
Chasing the northern lights in Greenland’s capital is easy. This
Arctic ‘minipolis’ of only
,
inhabitants lies smack in the
middle of the auroral belt stretching across the entire Arctic
north. The only question you have to answer is whether you
would like to watch them from the sea or from firm ground.
Dogsledding in Uummannaq
As the fjord freezes over in wintertime, Uummannaq looses its
distinct character of being an island in the midst of one of Green-
land’s most stunning and picturesque landscapes. Meet some
of the most hospitable locals in the country, and go dogsledding
among icebergs stuck in the completely frozen fjord.
Listen to the silence at Ilulissat Icefjord
