Six glass-fronted cabins on the rocks above the Ilulissat Icefjord, where the fastest glacier in the world sends icebergs the size of cities out into Disko Bay. In summer the sun never sets and humpbacks feed among the ice; in autumn the northern lights appear over the painted houses of the town. A skipper, a Zodiac and a guide who grew up here are yours for the week.

June to August for the midnight sun and whales among the ice; September for the first northern lights. Winter is dark, and fiercely cold.
