The calving of glaciers and fjords filled with immense icebergs are among the most remarkable natural phenomena one can be fortunate to witness when traveling to Greenland.
I’ve visited Greenland several times as part of my biology degree at Aalborg University, and, in part thanks to UArctic, I had the opportunity to center my master’s thesis around the incredible nature of Greenland.
As someone deeply interested in climate change, I find the Arctic particularly important to investigate and understand. It’s a place where the effects of global warming are especially visible, which is both interesting and alarming.
From my flight across Greenland, I was met with a unique and raw nature, as I flew across the Greenlandic ice sheet. When I reached Nuuk, I was met with a warm welcome.
I left Iceland with a lot of great memories, new friendships, and an appreciation for the beauty of the island.
