Everything here is huge, from the fjords that cut deep into the shoreline to the city-sized icebergs of Disko Bay. It is a magical place where, in the summer months, residents of the capital Nuuk have been known to complain about the noise made by humpback whales in the bay, while in the winter, the massive skies are filled with glowing aurora.
There is evidence of nomadic hunters in this region dating as far back as 2,500BC and remains of the 6th century Dorset culture can still be seen. In the 10th century, the Vikings arrived, bringing Christianity and a link to Denmark that endures to this day.
