Travel Theory's take on Greenland
You may not think of Greenland as a foodie destination, but it is! Try delicacies such as snow crab bisque, reindeer carpaccio with beets and horseradish, and white chocolate mousse with Arctic rhubarb.
 
For a treat, don't miss the locally-sourced Qujaq beer, a unique flavor of alcohol made from melted icebergs.

Greenland’s wild terrains welcome majestic views and exhilarating adventure. Kayaking amongst the towering icebergs in Ilulissat is a must! In the summertime you may even catch sights of humpback and minke whales!
 
Another tip: Don’t forget your sunglasses! Whether it’s summer or winter, the sun is quite strong and reflective on the snow. Plus you’ll always look stylish!
