Greenland Ice Sheet
Spectacular views of the massive inland ice cap and its retreating glaciers during the first 10 minutes.
Arctic Tundra
Vast, rolling valleys that are prime habitats for wild muskoxen and reindeer herds.
Sukkertoppen Highlands
Extremely rugged mountain ranges with sharp, alpine peaks and small hanging glaciers.
Palasip Qaqqaa
