Kangerlussuaq, Greenland: The name Kangerlussuaq means "Big Fjord" in the local Kalaallisut language. This settlement, housing about 500 people, is located in western Greenland on flat land at the head of a fjord sharing the same name. As the site of Greenland's largest commercial airport, Kangerlussuaq's economy heavily relies on its air transportation hub and tourism. The rugged terrain around the settlement supports a range of Arctic wildlife, including muskoxen, caribou, and Gyrfalcons.
Ilulissat, Greenland: Known as the birthplace of icebergs, the Ilulissat Icefjord produces nearly 20 million tons of ice daily. The town of Ilulissat means “icebergs” in the Kalaallisut language and is renowned for its periods of calm weather, albeit with a cold climate due to its proximity to the fjord. Around 4,500 people call this the third-largest town in Greenland home, and locals estimate there are nearly as many sled dogs as residents. Ilulissat boasts a history museum located in the one-time home of the Greenlandic folk hero and famed polar explorer Knud Rasmussen.
Qeqertarsuaq, Greenland: Nestled on the southern coast of Disko Island, Qeqertarsuaq is enveloped by stunning natural scenery, featuring striking fjords and basalt columns. The area offers an array of wildlife, including whales and seals, captivating visitors who seek adventure and tranquillity in the rugged Arctic terrain.
Sisimiut, Greenland: Located just north of the Arctic Circle, Sisimiut is the northernmost town in Greenland where the port remains ice-free during winter. This town is also the southernmost where there is sufficient snow and ice for sledding in winter and spring. Here, sled transportation has been a vital part of winter travel for centuries, making it a fascinating destination steeped in history over 4,500 years. Modern Sisimiut thrives as a business centre and the fastest-growing city in Greenland, with commercial fishing as its primary economic activity.
Nuuk, Greenland: Nuuk, meaning “the cape”, was Greenland’s first town established in 1728. Initially a fort, then a mission and trading post south of the Arctic Circle, it’s now the capital city, with nearly 30% of Greenland’s population residing there. Besides its captivating natural beauty, it hosts significant sites such as Inuit ruins, Hans Egede’s home, the parliament, and the Church of Our Saviour. The Greenlandic National Museum, featuring traditional dresses and the famous Qilakitsoq mummies, is a highlight. The Katuaq Cultural Center, inspired by the Northern Lights, can accommodate 10% of Nuuk’s inhabitants.
Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada: As the capital of Canada’s newest territory, Nunavut, Iqaluit stands as a testament to its meaning in Inuktitut: “our land”. Situated at the head of Frobisher Bay on Baffin Island’s southeast, this long bay was initially considered a potential Northwest Passage entrance. Among the notable attractions is the Nunatta Sunakkutaangit Museum, which, alongside the Nunavut Legislative Assembly Building, holds an impressive collection of Inuit artwork, with locally created prints available for purchase.
Lady Franklin Island, Nunavut, Canada: This remote and uninhabited island, named in honour of Sir John Franklin’s widow, lies off Baffin Island’s Hall Peninsula at Cumberland Sound’s entrance. The island showcases remarkable geology with vertical cliffs comprised of ancient Archean rocks. The surrounding waters host abundant seabirds, ducks, seals, and walrus, with potential sightings of Atlantic Puffins and possibly the rare Sabine’s Gull.
Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada: Located at Labrador’s northernmost edge, the Torngat Mountains National Park is celebrated for its "Eastern Rocky Mountains". Spanning over 9,700 km2, its landscape is interspersed with remnants of cirque glaciers and striking geological features in Saglek Fjord. The park’s name traces back to Torngarsoak, a mythical figure controlling sea animals, depicted as a gigantic polar bear. In winter, polar bears hunt seals on the ice here, while caribou herds migrate between their calving grounds in summer. The Inuit maintain a profound spiritual connection to these "Place of Spirits", using it for hunting, fishing, and travel throughout the year.
Hebron, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada: Once a Moravian Mission, Hebron is set against a backdrop of exceptional wilderness. Abandoned since 1959 however, the restored church still stands as a poignant reminder of the mergers of cultures that took place here, offering visitors an intriguing insight into Labrador's history.
L'Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada: Around the year 1000, Viking explorers from Greenland and Iceland established the earliest known European settlement in North America here, arriving half a millennium before Columbus. Rediscovered in the last century, this archaeological site has since become a key tourist attraction with Viking-themed experiences, captivating views, and wildlife sightings, such as whales and springtime polar bears. Located at the northern tip of Newfoundland, L'Anse aux Meadows is home to just 40 residents, while nearby St. Anthony houses around 3,500 people. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it commemorates Leif Erikson and the first European presence in the New World, underscoring the region's rich connection to Norse exploration.
Bonne Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada: Nestled in the heart of Gros Morne National Park, Bonne Bay offers breath-taking vistas, renowned for its fjords encased in the Appalachian mountains. The bay features diverse marine life and serves as a launching point for hiking adventures across this UNESCO World Heritage site's towering cliffs and verdant landscapes.
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada: Set amidst natural beauty and magnificent coastal views, Halifax is a vibrant hub celebrated for its historic and contemporary architecture, delightful dining, and buzzing nightlife. Though firmly rooted in history, thanks to its early British establishment in 1749 around its massive natural harbour, modern Halifax thrives as an attractive urban centre with extensive waterfront areas and a dynamic cultural scene. The juxtaposition of traditional elements against a modern backdrop offers visitors a perfect blend of experiences while exploring this part of the Atlantic provinces.
