Maniitsqq, Greenland


Though barely more than a smattering of cheerfully painted buildings, Maniitsoq’s privileged position near the mouths of several fjords makes it the ideal staging point for your sub-arctic exploration. Since the quaint town sits on an island, you might opt for a scenic boat tour into the pristine surrounding waterways. Nearby Eternity Fjord features several glaciers snaking through a landscape of jagged peaks and is considered one of the most beautiful fjords in Greenland. Simply standing in Maniitsoq’s harbor often yields sightings of the region’s abundant whales, and several picturesque staircases built into the hills outside of town provide breathtaking views of countless islets and white-capped mountain ranges.
