THE 65KM ICEFJORD<\/h3>\n<p>There is one main reason why Ilulissat, which translates as \u2018icebergs\u2019 in Greenlandic, is something of an epicentre for the glittering giants \u2013 the Unesco-listed icefjord. Every summer, as the weather warms, icebergs from the Sermeq Kujalleq glacier travel slowly down the Ilulissat Icefjord, and eventually, when they melt small enough, out to sea. Huge icebergs scatter across the bay, blocking the town\u2019s harbour until they are caught by the current and carried further north.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Ilulissat-Greenland-icebergs.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-14370\" src=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Ilulissat-Greenland-icebergs-774x516.jpg\" alt=\"3 AWESOME EXPERIENCES NOT TO MISS IN ILULISSAT, GREENLAND\" width=\"774\" height=\"516\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Ilulissat-Greenland-icebergs-774x516.jpg 774w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Ilulissat-Greenland-icebergs-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Ilulissat-Greenland-icebergs-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Ilulissat-Greenland-icebergs.jpg 858w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 774px) 100vw, 774px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There are three official hiking routes in the Unesco site along the icefjord where you can see the bergs all squashed up like jagged teeth, grinding against each other over the bobbing water and, if you\u2019re lucky, spot seals playing. I took the longest route \u2013 7km \u2013 and it\u2019s a good decision as few people choose it and that means I had the incredible far-reaching views mostly to myself. The trek is straightforward, a little bit of scrambling is needed as is tails back round to the city, but it\u2019s easy to spot the blue trail markers, and I stopped so many times to admire the view that I didn\u2019t really get tired.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Ilulissat-Greenland-iceberg.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-14372\" src=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Ilulissat-Greenland-iceberg-774x516.jpg\" alt=\"3 AWESOME EXPERIENCES NOT TO MISS IN ILULISSAT, GREENLAND\" width=\"774\" height=\"516\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Ilulissat-Greenland-iceberg-774x516.jpg 774w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Ilulissat-Greenland-iceberg-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Ilulissat-Greenland-iceberg-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Ilulissat-Greenland-iceberg-1080x720.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Ilulissat-Greenland-iceberg.jpg 1326w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 774px) 100vw, 774px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>2. KAYAKING UNDER THE MIDNIGHT SUN<\/h3>\n<p>To truly discover Ilulissat it is important to get on the water. I joined PGI Greenland for an evening kayak trip under the midnight sun. As the sun began to set, nature offered one of its finest spectacles; the fierce white glare of the bergs turned into a shimmering gold, and light rippled across their groves and splinters until they looked like they were breathing. Then, the sun threw pinks and purples, yellows and oranges across the sky, creating an orchestra of colours.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Ilulissat-Greenland-kayak-midnight-sun.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-14373\" src=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Ilulissat-Greenland-kayak-midnight-sun-774x445.jpg\" alt=\"3 AWESOME EXPERIENCES NOT TO MISS IN ILULISSAT, GREENLAND\" width=\"774\" height=\"445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Ilulissat-Greenland-kayak-midnight-sun-774x445.jpg 774w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Ilulissat-Greenland-kayak-midnight-sun-120x69.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Ilulissat-Greenland-kayak-midnight-sun-500x287.jpg 500w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Ilulissat-Greenland-kayak-midnight-sun-1080x620.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Ilulissat-Greenland-kayak-midnight-sun.jpg 1978w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 774px) 100vw, 774px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The feeling of bobbing away to the sound of icebergs popping and fizzing as they melted and merged with the seawater was beaten only by the far-off sighting of two humpback whales floating in the same stretch of water. Then our guides Pil and Hilde scooped out centuries-old ice straight from the sea and poured cream liquor over them; and we sat there, under a vivid sky, soaking in the moment and sipping a drink made even more special by ice only recently freed from the thousand-year old glacier.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Ilulissat-Greenland-midnight-sun-iceberg-moon.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-14374\" src=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Ilulissat-Greenland-midnight-sun-iceberg-moon.jpg\" alt=\"3 AWESOME EXPERIENCES NOT TO MISS IN ILULISSAT, GREENLAND\" width=\"803\" height=\"536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Ilulissat-Greenland-midnight-sun-iceberg-moon.jpg 736w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Ilulissat-Greenland-midnight-sun-iceberg-moon-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Ilulissat-Greenland-midnight-sun-iceberg-moon-500x334.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 803px) 100vw, 803px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>3. GETTING PERSONAL WITH HUMPBACK WHALES<\/h3>\n<p>Between June and September, Ilulissat is home to pods of humpback whales and a trip on a somewhat larger boat with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldofgreenland.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">World of Greenland<\/a> brought me mere metres away from the gentle giants. In Ilulissat, where tourism is a small affair, there were no other boats competing for the view and, with engines off, we silently drifted alongside them for our 2-hour trip as they slept, dived and played. There is very little that beats the sight of a humpback whale breaching the water, with a glittering iceberg behind, and utter silence all around.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Ilulissat-Greenland-humpback-whale-iceberg.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-14375\" src=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Ilulissat-Greenland-humpback-whale-iceberg-774x516.jpg\" alt=\"3 AWESOME EXPERIENCES NOT TO MISS IN ILULISSAT, GREENLAND\" width=\"774\" height=\"516\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Ilulissat-Greenland-humpback-whale-iceberg-774x516.jpg 774w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Ilulissat-Greenland-humpback-whale-iceberg-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Ilulissat-Greenland-humpback-whale-iceberg-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Ilulissat-Greenland-humpback-whale-iceberg-1080x720.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Ilulissat-Greenland-humpback-whale-iceberg.jpg 1778w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 774px) 100vw, 774px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Have you been to Greenland?
