These Photos Show Why East Greenland Is a Hidden Gem

What’s even more remote than visiting the sparsely populated nation of Greenland? Try visiting East Greenland. When the largest town has 2,000 people, you can expect having plenty of space to enjoy the scenery. The scenery is remarkable, too, with giant icebergs, glaciers, and ice floes moving through the sea. The outdoor activities are many, with dog-sledding being one of the best. And despite the slim population, there are people to meet.

This slideshow includes photos from the main town of Tasiilaq and Tiniteqilaaq settlement, which can take between just a few hours to a whole day to reach by boat because of the moving ice from Tasiilaq. Here’s a glimpse of what the region has to offer.
