08.04.02 - How to travel to Greenland via Iceland

By Malik Milfeldt
Cheer up! There's no need to travel all across the Atlantic to Copenhagen to catch a plane to Greenland. If you're a little flexible and patient, why not travel via Iceland to take the opportunity to visit two island countries in the North Atlantic? This is how you can do it:
