Besides Illussiat Icefjord, the country boasts a number of other impressive fjords, such as Rypefjord in the east, with craggy cliffs soaring as high as 6,160 feet. Others well worth exploring include Bernstorffs Fjord, also in the east (great for witnessing icebergs calving); Tasermiut Fjord in the southwest; and up in Northeast Greenland National Park, Kong Oscar Fjord and Alpefjord. If you´re limited on time or don´t care to venture so far afield, Nuup Kangerlua (Nuuk Fjord), right near the capital, also offers spectacular scenery as well as great summertime whale watching (humpbacks, minkes, and occasionally orcas). All of the above can be explored via Zodiac boats and kayaing on the water and hiking on land, led by experienced outfitters.
