Two very different destinations on a single island!<\/b><\/h2>\n

While its wildlife is on the shy side, Greenland is a destination you will love for its landscapes, which are among the most beautiful in the world, and the tremendous hospitality of its people.

On the east coast of Greenland, nature is more untamed than on the west coast. The mountain peaks are more prominent, the cliffs are vertiginous and the shores, bordered by pack ice for most of the year, are subject to powerful polar currents<\/strong>. It is therefore very sparsely inhabited and visited.<\/em><\/p>\n

Tasiilaq: the largest Inuit community in eastern Greenland<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Are the 2,000 souls who live in Tasiilaq cut off from the world? Far from it! Inuit and Europeans on the eastern coastline have crossed paths in Ammassalik Bay,<\/strong> at the edge of the Arctic Circle ,for a great many years, as they share a mutual interest. It was in Tasiilaq that the young ethnographer Paul-\u00c9mile Victor<\/strong> spent a year living with the Inuit in the mid-1930s. The inhabitants of Tasiilaq are always keen to share their culture with a great sense of warmth, tinged with a hint of curiosity.

A sense of improvised hospitality<\/strong><\/h3>\n

From the capital, Nuuk<\/strong> (which stretches along the Davis Strait<\/strong>), via Narsaq<\/strong> in the south and Ilulissat, Upernavik or the Qanaaq Region<\/strong>\u00a0in the north, you can set off to meet the Inuit and experience Greenlandic hospitality<\/p>\n

This is very much the spirit of an authentic kaffemik<\/strong>, a social festive gathering usually organised at the drop of a hat for family and friends, neighbours, colleagues or just folk who are passing through.<\/p>\n

Kullorsuaq and the guardians of the Pole<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Thanks to Nicolas Dubreuil<\/strong>, a French explorer with a passion for Greenland, PONANT has forged lasting and invaluable links with the small community of Kullorsuaq<\/strong>, located in the Upernavik archipelago, over the last ten years. Its inhabitants are committed to sharing their traditional way of life with travellers. Bivouacking on the pack ice<\/strong> in early spring, guided by these men with their precise ancestral gestures, perfectly adapted to this extreme environment, is an intense and exclusive human experience.<\/p>\n

Greenland\u2019s fauna is rich but fierce. Still hunted, it tends to shy away from the coasts and their communities. In both east and west, you\u2019ll have to favour the High Arctic if you hope to see any. Seals and polar bears<\/strong> often prefer to stay at a distance, although they can be spotted from time to time as you head towards the more northerly shores, particularly to the east.<\/p>\n
