Summer in Greenland

Greenland is the land of contrasts, and the summer months in Greenland really show these contrasts. Hunter communities in small settlements and modern town life. Green hills and white ice bergs. Strong sun beams and misty fog. Gentle flower valleys and cool glaciers. Untouched and remote areas. Cliffs carving through enormous land areas. Fantastic colors and odours.
The summer in Greenland is intense, warm and very bright
Summer in Greenland starts late may and ends in early september. Especially June, July and August are popular because you get to experience the magic midnight sun and endless days where the sun is always up and the sky is never dark.
September shows beautiful autumn colors in golden shades. The sun is still high up on the sky and is reflected in the ice. Blueberries and crowberries are ready to be picked and you can be absolutely certain that they are 100% ecological!
Popular summer experiences and activities in Greenland
Midnight sun and easy (or difficult) hiking in Greenland is best experienced during the summer period. Also sailing with coastal ship, cruise ship and local boats are also best during summer. The temperatur in summer is very nice - the wind is very dry so even lower temperatures, such as 15 celcius, invites you to pause and enjoy the sun in tshirt and shorts.
