Europe

In the northern hemisphere, only two hours by plane from Iceland, there’s a country where time seems to stand still. In Greenland everything is quite: no noise from engines or horns, no crowds in overpopulated streets. When you travel to Greenland you’ll find that everything seem to be frozen. Once summer comes, the climate offers days of endless sunshine. You might lose your bearings: you’ll be struck by the contrast of enormous glaciers alongside small fishermen’s houses. The perfect whiteness, shimmering and glacial, could hurt the eyes because of its dazzling glare. Far off you might hear some barking: it’s the huskies setting off for a new journey. Greenland is definitely a country of extraordinary nature, a country where the glacial climate warms the heart of its inhabitants. A country, quite simply, to discover.

Ilimanaq is a village located to the south of the ice fjord on the west coast of Greenland. It is worth going when visiting Greenland to experience life in an Inuit village.

The only way to get to Ilimanaq is by boat or helicopter. I opted to take the boat. Crossing the ice fjord and navigating through the icebergs on the sea's perfectly calm waters was really impressive. We even spotted whales at times. And as for the incredible peace and quiet…
Ilimanaq is a charming, tiny little village inhabited by around 80 people and acts as a reminder that there are other ways of living than the way we do in Europe.
Ilimanaq is great if you want to go hiking. The walks in the area around this Inuit village are beautiful. However, the trails are not waymarked like the ones at Ilulissat, so it's best to be somewhat cautious. The village is arranged like all Greenland's villages, i.e. with the local store located by the harbour and the main place for meeting and socialising, and the houses located all around. Adopt a friendly, open attitude and the Inuits will welcome you with open arms.
In the winter, Ilimanaq gets pretty much cut off from everything.
