A Different Experience - This picture is of Ilulissat. Photographer Paul had clicked it some months back when the sun’s rays were falling on the iceberg. During these days Ilulissat is fully covered with snow. Not even a ray of sun can reach here in the winters but one can see thousands of icebergs weather in winters or summers. 

1. The trip would not be complete without the dog–sled ride. Only 2 to 3 people can sit on the dog-sled at a time. Sometimes the sled driver runs along with the dogs and at other times sits behind the sled or near the travelers. Many adventure sports like Kayaking, Sailing, and Hiking etc. can be experienced here.
2. The plane ride is the most comfortable transportation to reach Ilulissat but when the river water is calm then this place can be reached by boat too. The beauty of icebergs can be seen from a close distance while traveling through boat which is an amazing experience by itself.
3. There are mainly icebergs in Ilulissat but there are some beautiful markets as well. There is a beautiful glacier which is around 35 KM from Ilulissat where many icebergs can be seen. The melting rate of this glacier was 22 meters per day in 2002 which increased to 35 meters in 2007 due to global warming.
