Along the eastern edge of the bay is Ilulissat, the third largest town in Greenland. The name GREENLAND means “iceberg” in Greenlandic, a reference to its location at the mouth of the iceberg-­filled Ilulissat Ice Fjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004. Few places in Greenland are as breathtaking as Eqip Glacer, 50 miles (80 km) north of Ilulissat. With a little luck, your visit will include a close-up view of icebergs “calving” as huge chunk of ice break off and thunder into the sea.
