HOW DO ICE CORES WORK?

Greenland is a landscape

with a harsh frozenclimate. 80% of land

is beneath ice.

Greenland summerare long and light,

winter days aredark and cold.

The region is used for climatic research. Ice

cores reveal information about

past climate.

TOURIST INFORMATIONHighlight keywords linked with

extreme environmentsExplain how this makes Greenland

an extreme environment

ICE AND SNOW: Icebergs in all shapes and sizes. Dramatic glaciers and an endless ice cap. Winter sports all year round. Clear Arctic air.

OUTDOOR LIFE: With only 55,000 inhabitants, Greenland offers space and a challenge for hikers. For anglers. For kayak. For mountain climbers and mountain bikers.

ANIMAL LIFE: Our fauna: Large whales, seals and walruses. Musk oxen, reindeers and polar bears. The animals of the Arctic!

CRUISE AND FLY: Here it's not just a matter of getting from A to B. Flying in Greenland is a stunning experience. Cruising Greenland is no less impressive, you're in the sea of icebergs and whales.

DOG-SLEDGE:Hunters and ice fishermen in Greenland still rely of the dog-sledge rather than the snowscooter. Be their guest - driving dog-sledge is an experience of a lifetime!

MIDNIGHT SUN: During the Arctic summer the sun never sets. In the autumn, the winter and the spring northern lights sweep across the dark sky above snow-covered mountains.

CULTURE AND HISTORY: The ancient culture is still alive: Inuit drum dance, kayak performance and colourful national costumes. Arts and crafts have developed over generations.
