A big chunk of Greenland can be likened to the Game of Thrones’ icy terrains known as ‘beyond the wall’, but Igaliku and a lot of South Greenland is surprisingly green during the summer. A bit like The Reach in Game of Thrones!

The material gathered is already available on Google Street View, but will soon be integrated on Visit Greenland’s website on relevant destination pages.
Partners from this project include: Google, Visit Greenland, Destination South Greenland, Asiaq and Air Greenland, Lonely Leap, CoCreators Films and snowflake.gl.
