Greenland, the world's largest island of ice.

A land of the Arctic where no one readily sets out on a journey due to temperatures dropping as low as -40°C in winter!

As if to prove the fact that 80% of the land is ice, massive glaciers boasting tens of thousands of years of history are situated throughout the cities.

We challenge the summit of the giant icebergs adorning Disco Bay and meet the Inuit people of Sishmiut, a hidden village in Greenland more beautiful than the Alps.

Greenland, visited for the first time in the history of World Travel.

From riding a dog sled to the Ice Fjords of Ilulissat to the innocent children of Nuuk who have been adapting to the bitter cold since childhood.

We reveal the hidden stories of Greenland that were concealed within the white blanks of the map.

Shishimiut, a village boasting breathtaking scenery comparable to the Alps, where mountains and colorful houses blend together.

In the dead of winter, the sea off the coast of Shishimiut is frozen solid, making it impossible to distinguish between the land and the ocean. Fishermen at the docks are stranded for over a month, unable to move an inch due to the frozen sea.

We listen to the stories of these men who wage a daily battle against the ice to venture out to sea.

In Shishimiut, where most of the villagers are engaged in fishing, we visit a butcher shop where you can purchase meat encompassing both land and sea species, such as seals, whales, redfish, and cod. We also visit a 300-year-old whale warehouse, now used as a craft workshop, to meet a Greenlandic artisan carving various crafts from polar bear talons, musk ox legs, and reindeer antlers. At the Shishimiut Traditional Crafts Institute, you can catch a glimpse of another tradition of the Inuit people. Having been forced to wear clothes made of animal hides due to the harsh cold,

they regard the art of making clothes as sacred, to the extent that they call it "women's magic."

Sewing skills determine a woman's status and earn her the respect of many. We step directly into the workshops where embroidery, knitting, and beadwork are created with exceptional skill.

To verify the massive inland glaciers located on the "Island of Ice," Greenland, we head to Summerswaak, braving the extreme cold with a wind chill of minus 40 degrees. Ilulissat, meaning "iceberg," is the third largest city in Greenland.

In the middle of winter, the Ilulissat docks present a spectacular scene with fishing boats and ice intertwined. We go out fishing with fishermen who cut through the drift ice surrounding their boats to the open sea, experiencing the scene of seal hunting firsthand. Disco Bay, off the coast of Ilulissat, is a place where massive glaciers float, creating a magnificent spectacle. We briefly anchor on a massive iceberg floating in the middle of the ocean to observe the mirage above the water's surface. Additionally, we climb a cliff-like iceberg in the vast sea to explore the pristine ice caves and conquer the summit of the iceberg.

Traditional houses of the Inuit people, who build their homes only after first piling up stones, earth, and moss on the ground.

At a traditional museum established about 1,000 years ago, we get a glimpse of the ancient lifestyle of the Inuit people. For survival, the people of Greenland have long hunted reindeer and seals by running across the snow on dog sleds. To handle Greenland dogs, which retain their wild nature, owners also require rigorous training. This is because if the sound of the whip weakens or the owner's movements become sluggish, the dogs will quickly sense it and betray them.

After hearing about the long-standing history of sled dogs and their brutal survival methods, we head to the Ice Fjord, a famous attraction in Ilulissat, on a dog sled ourselves. We capture the breathtaking scenery of the Ice Fjords on screen, which are listed as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site but are in danger of melting and disappearing due to global warming. We also visit a family home in Ilulissat and enjoy the seal and whale dishes they serve.

Passing through cloud-like snowfields and heading south, we arrive at Nuuk, the capital of Greenland. Nuuk is the largest city in Greenland and the only one where modern life is enjoyed. It is the only city in Greenland with a lake, where apartments and modern buildings can also be found. Even in the bitter cold of minus 20 degrees, kindergartens in Greenland proceed with outdoor classes.

We take a look at the unique educational landscape of Greenland, where harsh winter education is deliberately implemented from early childhood to help children adapt to the cold. Additionally, we introduce a 500-year-old mummy displayed at the National Museum of Greenland and taste the traditional Greenland dish called *badasoe*, which is aged and boiled for a year. We take a ferry to visit the Godap Fjords spread out in the waters ...
