Ilulissat, presented today by Lindblad Expeditions, is a small town on the western coast of Greenland. The name of the town fittingly means “icebergs” in Kalaallisut, the local language, and its colorful houses are nestled into a pocket on the rocky coastline, near the mighty Ilulissat Glacier. This massive stretch of ice flows down from the Greenland Ice Sheet, releasing icebergs of up to a kilometer in height into the ocean. Here the veteran Lindblad Expedition bridge teams weave their nimble iceships through the bergs, routinely spotting seals and even humpback whales on their approach to the town.To learn more or see how you can explore Ilulissat yourself, follow Lindblad Expeditions or visit expeditions.com.—69.216667°, -51.100000°
