Ilulissat (kind of fun to say once you figure it out) has about 5000 people, third largest city in Greenland. Ilulissat means “icebergs” and our info sheet said there about as many sled dogs as there are people. We took a small boat trip into the icefjiord, which contains unbelievably large icebergs from the most productive glacier, Sermeq Kujalleq also known as Jakobshavn Glacier, in the northern hemisphere. It runs directly from the Greenland Ice Cap. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage site and deserves all the press. After the boat trip, we walked a boardwalk to the glacier and visited a newly opened visitor center which was fascinating and gorgeous. We LOVED Greenland and will definitely come back.
