Greenland - is the world`s largest island, located between the Arctic Ocean and the North Atlantic Ocean, northeast of Canada and northwest of Iceland. Greenland is also the world's second largest ice cap (ice covers more than 3/4 of its surface). Sparse population confined to small settlements along the coast, which is very often indented by fjords. Area: total: 2,166,086 sq km; land: 2,166,086 sq km (410,449 sq km ice-free, 1,755,637 sq km ice-covered)
Highest point: Gunnbjorn 3,700 m
Capital - Godthab (Nuuk). Greenland is a part of Denmark, self-governing since 1979.
Average temperatures: July +3 to +9, January -8 to -17. In summer the temperature can be as high as +21, but often even at this period it isn`t higher than 0. The lowest temperatures are on the east coast in winter - the thermometer can drop to -45°.
Heliski areas are concentrated in the mountains around Tasiilaq on the east coast of Greenland. During the year this area gets much more snow than the west coast; average temperatures are also much lower here, what positively affects the quality of snow. During the whole winter the bay is frozen, what also affects the microclimate of the region.
East coast is famous for its beautiful landscape. Local villages have much longer history than Maniitsoq (those on the other coast). Here you can try dogsledding, kayaking, admire the icebergs and fjords and, of course, heliski! Flights to the heliski zones are short, as the area, where you`ll be residing is surrounded by mountains.
National parks and reserves Northeast Greenland National Park is the largest national park in the world, with an area of 972,000 square kilometres (375,000 square miles). It is also the only national park in Greenland and in Denmark. The park encompasses the entire northeastern coastline and interior sections of Greenland, which is the largest island on Earth. Originally created on 22 May 1974, the park was expanded in 1988 to its present size. In January 1977 it was designated an international biosphere reserve. It is overseen by the Greenland Department of Environment and Nature.
Heliski in Greenland Departure point is Tasiilaq, from where you head either to the Ammassalik fjord or to the icecap on the west. So, you have a chance to ski in different conditions and see beautiful landscape of Greenland. The altitude of take-offs is comparatively low, but vertical drop is quite imposive, because you come down to the 0 altitude - right to the ocean coastline. The runs are on average between 1000 and 1500 meters, depending on weather and the area. The main advantage of heliskiing on the east coast is that many times you are the first person ever coming down this way!
