Ilulissat (Jakobshavn), Greenland

Ilulissat is surrounded by the enormous glaciers of Disco Bay and bathed in the frosty brilliance of the midnight sun, making it a truly unique and magical place. Although the temperatures tend not to climb above the 20s, there is plenty to do in this winter wonderland. Kayaks were invented in Greenland and they provide the perfect transportation for glacier exploring. Or take a dogsled ride with some of the 4,000 sled dogs that live in Ilulissat.
