Aurora & Polar Circle Adventure 2011
5 days / 4 nights, Copenhagen - Kangerlussuaq - Copenhagen | Traveling back in time to the Ice Age on our Aurora & Polar Circle Adventure! Visit to Kangerlussuaq is almost
like a travel in time – the visitor finds himself surrounded by a landscape similar to the Ice Age where prehistoric Musk Oxen are seen in front of the huge glaciers and the gigantic Greenland Inland Ice Cap.
Stable weather conditions with an often-clear sky makes Kangerlussuaq in Greenland one of the best destinations
in the world to experience the Northern Light – during the last 6 seasons 99% of our Greenland visitors staying a minimum of three nights in Kangerlussuaq have experienced the amazing Aurora Borealis!
The Northern Lights are mesmerizing, dynamic displays of light that appear in clear nights in the Arctic skies. Our exciting Northern Lights program takes you on a search of the magic and colorful aurora display of lights and colors.
