Although\u00a0there are only 56,483 people living on the more than 860,000 square miles that make up the <strong>largest\u00a0island in the world<\/strong>, you will be able to trace the history of Vikings and the Inuit. To put the size of\u00a0Greenland into comparison, Italy is only 116,347 square miles, but it has a population of 59.83\u00a0million. You should expect a much smaller amount of infrastructure than you are used to during your\u00a0<strong>Greenlandic adventure<\/strong>. On the plus side, this means that you can truly relax and enjoy the natural\u00a0beauty of the area without constantly being deluged by emails and text messages.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"350\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7352\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/greenland-nasa-photo.jpg\" alt=\"greenland-nasa-photo\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/greenland-nasa-photo.jpg 620w, https:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/greenland-nasa-photo-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>The Inuit Culture<\/h3>\n<p>Some people refer to the Inuit people as Eskimos, but this is an outdated term that is considered to\u00a0be racially insensitive. The current population of Greenland is almost entirely Inuit, so you can\u00a0expect to learn more about their culture and history during your trip. You will also have the\u00a0opportunity to come home with a piece of authentic Inuit art. Known as <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tupilaq\">tupilaqs<\/a>, these carvings\u00a0have a rich history that dates back to the <strong>beginning of Inuit culture<\/strong>. Their purpose was originally to\u00a0dispatch magic that could thwart an enemy. Today, however, these purposefully ugly artistic\u00a0creations are merely a great way for local Inuit people to boost their revenue.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"350\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7353\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/inuit-tupilaqs.jpg\" alt=\"inuit-tupilaqs\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/inuit-tupilaqs.jpg 620w, https:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/inuit-tupilaqs-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Many people enjoy kayaking, but it is not so common for these individuals to realize that these\u00a0watercrafts were <a href=\"https:\/\/oceanwide-expeditions.com\/blog\/greenland-where-the-kayak-was-invented\">invented in Greenland<\/a> by Inuit tribes. These boats became popular thousands of\u00a0years ago, and they were made from whalebones or light driftwood. No one knows for certain\u00a0exactly when the first kayak was made, but we do know that their original purpose was for hunting.\u00a0A larger vessel known as an umiaq was utilized for transporting multiple people at once. Umiaqs are\u00a0an early version of the modern canoe.<\/p>\n<p>Hunting and artistry are among the main trades of today\u2019s Inuit culture, but modern civilization is\u00a0slowly catching up in Greenland. It is becoming increasingly common for Inuit women to work\u00a0outside of the home, and you may find them staffing stores that sell tupilaqs. Even though this\u00a0represents a cultural shift, the Inuit people are still holding onto their traditions by continuing to\u00a0make art and sew clothing.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"350\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7354\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/inuit-umiaqs.jpg\" alt=\"inuit-umiaqs\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/inuit-umiaqs.jpg 620w, https:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/inuit-umiaqs-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Viking History throughout Greenland<\/h3>\n<p>Many of the travelers that head to Greenland want to learn more <strong>about Viking history<\/strong>. These\u00a0ancient people lived in Greenland until the Little Ice Age helped drive them away from the partially\u00a0ice-covered country. There has been some recent evidence that suggests the Vikings stayed in\u00a0Greenland for almost <a href=\"http:\/\/www.archaeology.org\/news\/3186-150408-greenland-viking-climate\">200 years longer<\/a> than previously believed, but either way, they began their\u00a0exodus in the mid-1300s.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"350\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7355\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/viking-greenland.jpg\" alt=\"viking-greenland\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/viking-greenland.jpg 620w, https:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/viking-greenland-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One of the best aspects of visiting Greenland is that the sparse population has helped preserve some\u00a0of the remnants of the Viking days. For example, the Norse Cathedral, which was once home to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Erik_the_Red\">Erik\u00a0the Red<\/a>, can be visited as part of your Greenland experience. Areas such as this cathedral are in\u00a0ruins, but preservation efforts have helped dramatically slow down the effects of aging. This will\u00a0make it possible for people to enjoy these historical sites for many generations to come.\u00a0If learning about Vikings is one of your main reasons for <strong>planning a trip to Greenland<\/strong>, then you will\u00a0definitely want to connect with a tour group that can take you to all of the best spots and inform you\u00a0about their history. Most of these areas are not easy to find without assistance.<\/p>\n<h3>Nuuk: The Main Launching Pad for Tourism<\/h3>\n<p>Greenland\u2019s population has been slowly rising, but the vast majority of people who do not live with\u00a0an Inuit tribe are clustered in and around Nuuk. This city is home to 16,454 residents, and it is one of\u00a0the most popular spots for tourists. However, individuals and groups that want a more rustic,\u00a0<strong>adventurous trek through Greenland<\/strong> will need to connect with an expedition cruise. This will take\u00a0you outside the typical hotel environment and enable you to come face-to-face with some of the\u00a0hidden beauty of Greenland.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"350\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7351\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/greenland-dogs.jpg\" alt=\"greenland-dogs\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/greenland-dogs.jpg 620w, https:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/greenland-dogs-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For example, the Alpine Peaks of West Greenland are the perfect place to go snowshoeing or sailing.\u00a0You may also be able to <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/see-northern-lights-greatest-display-decade-coming\/\">see the Aurora Borealis<\/a> while exploring many areas of Greenland.\u00a0Additionally, the world\u2019s largest island features intriguing wildlife viewing opportunities, including\u00a0humpback whales and Svalbard reindeer. Either way, after you get to Greenland, you will have the\u00a0opportunity to learn about Vikings, the Inuit and a lifestyle that does not revolve around\u00a0smartphones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greenland greets visitors with a fascinating mixture of culture and historical significance.

Getting in touch with new people, different life styles and foreign traditions, and write about it, is all I can ask for.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.traveleurope.com","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gu3rri3ro","http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/profile\/view?id=646444","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/GuerrieroAndrea"],"url":"https:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/author\/admin\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7349","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7349"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7349\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7356"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7349"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7349"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7349"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
