Greenland

Gill and Alistair Campbell (travelblog.org/Bloggers/Postcards) have been writing guidebooks since 2010; Greenland is their third guidebook for Bradt. They are avid travellers, criss-crossing the globe since the early 1970s, and Greenland is a place they have grown to love. They find it incredible that so few people visit, given how much the country offers: the world's largest fjords and national park, fifteen different whales and gargantuan icebergs. No two towns are linked by road, and the weather determines how you travel: boat, dog sled, snowmobile or helicopter. Each of the Campbells' journeys has been an adventure, and they are constantly amazed by how tiny Inuit hunting and fishing communities prosper in this harsh environment. They have visited every region in this huge country, meeting with dog-sled mushers, boat skippers and Inuit running remote cabins - all to write a book that allows visitors to plan their own adventure in this majestic land.
