GUSTO
Flavours of Greenland
Mattak
Whale skin and blubber, an Inuit delicacy served on special occasions.
Kaffemik
Not a dish but a ritual: coffee and cake shared at social gatherings open to anyone.
In Greenland food comes directly from ice and sea, with farming impossible across most of the land. Kaffemik—the custom of opening the door with coffee and cake for whoever arrives—explains better than any landscape why Arctic isolation never became loneliness.

COLD-WEATHER GEAR
What to pack for the Arctic
Seeing the aurora in Iceland, Norway, Finland or Greenland can mean standing still, at night, outdoors, in wind and temperatures down to −20 °C. It is not the cold that ruins it: it is dressing badly.
1. Layers, layers and more layers
- A thermal base that wicks moisture (merino or synthetic, never cotton), an insulating mid layer (fleece or light down) and a windproof, waterproof shell. Three layers you can open and close as you move.
2. Extremities first
Two-piece gloves: a thin liner for your phone and a thick mitten over it.
A hat covering the ears plus a buff or balaclava.
Wool socks (one good pair, not two thin ones) and waterproof insulated boots.
Thermal trousers under a waterproof outer layer.
3. Details that save the night
Chemical hand and foot warmers: weightless and last hours.
A thermos with a hot drink.
A power bank: cold drains phone and camera in minutes.
A head torch with red light so you do not ruin the group's night vision.
4. Dress for the tripod
- If you plan to photograph, add one more layer than you think you need: shooting the aurora means standing still for an hour. What keeps you warm walking will not keep you warm waiting.
