Ilulissat is a port town on the west coast of Greenland at the entrance to Disko Bay, meaning "iceberg", and is famous for the spectacular Ilulissat Icefjord. It is Greenland's third largest town, with a permanent population of around 4,500, and is unique in its blend of Inuit cultural traditions and modern polar adventure experiences. At its heart, the Ilulissat Icefjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was formed by the flow of the Jacob's Harbor Glacier (one of the most active glaciers in the Northern Hemisphere) into the ocean, and is a stunning natural landscape of floating giant icebergs and rugged ice walls. With boat cruises in the summer and aurora borealis and ice cave adventures in the winter, it's the perfect gateway to explore Greenland's pristine ecosystems and icy wonders.
