ICONIC WILDLIFE
There’s more to the world’s largest island than ice.
Nature reserves dot the island, which were established to protect breeding polar bears, beluga whales and narwhals. It’s also home to ringed seals and rare Arctic birds. Greenland National Park is home to many types of arctic wildlife, including up to 40 per cent of the world’s population of musk ox. It’s possible to glimpse polar bears, muskoxen, sea eagles, fin, humpback and minke whale.
