  1. Day 1

    Nuuk, Greenland

    Nuuk is Greenland’s capital, where Arctic scale meets the pace of a working town. Set beside the vast Nuuk Fjord, it pairs brightly painted houses with modern architecture and a lively harbor. Visit the Greenland National Museum to see the 500-year-old Qilakitsoq mummies and objects tracing Inuit life. Then look toward Sermitsiaq, the landmark mountain rising beyond the water. Nuuk rewards travelers seeking Greenlandic culture alongside its dramatic landscapes.

  2. Day 2

    Kangerlussuaq, Greenland

    Kangerlussuaq is Greenland’s unlikely gateway: a small settlement set 190 kilometres inland at the head of a long fjord. Once a U.S. air base, it offers access to the ice sheet and guided excursions onto its immense white surface. Beyond town, tundra supports musk oxen and reindeer; nearby Russell Glacier reveals Greenland’s moving ice. Weather and distance shape every outing, so plan for conditions.

  3. Day 3

    Qeqertarsuaq, Greenland

    Qeqertarsuaq, once called Godhavn, occupies Disko Island on Greenland’s west coast, beyond the usual reach of road travel. Founded in 1773, it grew around a sheltered harbour and the whaling trade. Today, its small, colourful settlement contrasts sharply with dark basalt cliffs and broad Arctic skies. Walk the waterfront, visit the historic church, or take a guided outing toward waterfalls and the Lyngmark Glacier. In summer, watch for whales offshore.

    Baffin Island, Canada

    On Baffin Island, Canada’s largest island, the Arctic feels immediate: vast fjords, sculpted cliffs and tundra reach the horizon. Nunavut’s Inuit communities offer a living connection to the North, shaped by deep knowledge, language and tradition. Depending on your landing, look for seabirds, seals or whales, and allow time for weather to set the pace. Here, the reward is not a checklist. The reward is perspective: a place where light, ice and distance shape each day.

    Churchill MB, Canada

    Churchill is a small Manitoba port on Hudson Bay, reached by air or train from Winnipeg. In summer, thousands of beluga whales gather in the Churchill River estuary, while polar bears patrol the coast in autumn. Visit the Itsanitaq Museum for Inuit carvings and artefacts, or explore the stone ruins of Prince of Wales Fort. Here, wildlife and northern history share the shoreline.
