greenland offers adventures of ice and snow like nowhere else on this planet. the ice cap up to three kilometers thick covers an area 14 times the size of england, and icebergs snap off(折斷) the glaciers(冰川)at the edges of the ice cap. you'll experience icebergs almost everywhere in greenland. in the disko bay, icebergs often rise up to 100 meters above the waterline-keep in mind that 90 percent of an iceberg is hidden below the surface of the sea. the world's most active glacier at illissat moves 25-30 meters a day and calves(裂冰)across a front 10 kilometers in width. visiting the ice cap is possible from most towns in greenland, although it usually takes a helicopter flight or a boat trip to reach the edge of the inland ice. in kangerlussuaq the ice cap is only 20 kilometers away and you can hike, drive, fly or mountain bike there -and stay overnight if you bring a tent. springtime is the best season for dog-sledge tours and skiing although greenland also offers first class summer skiing, even heli-skiing, on glaciers, and dog-sledge tours in the summer.
greenland hosts several international events related to ice & snow, such as the arctic circle race regarded as the toughest ski race in the world, the ice golf world championships, and the snow sculpture festival.
as a neighbor to the north pole, greenland has an arctic climate, although there are great differences from north to south, and from coast to inland. generally speaking, the climate is very dry, and as a result, temperatures feel quite different from most other places in the world. 10-15 degrees celsius, that is, 50-60 degrees fahrenheit, feels very warm, while minus 10 degrees celsius (14 degrees fahrenheit) is equivalent to a comfortable temperature.
