"Greenland is arguably the least green place I've ever visited, although it's certainly not lacking in colour. Houses are painted London bus red, canary yellow and fuschia. A sea of ice spilling out of the Ilulissat Icefjord, the largest icefjord in the world, is so blindingly clean-looking that it would make my meticulous mother-in-law weep for joy. Then there are the blues: deep midnight in the ocean and electric dragonfly blue where crevasses have formed on the icebergs."

Greenland shows almost no green vegetation yet displays abundant color through brightly painted houses in shades like London bus red, canary yellow and fuchsia. A vast sea of ice flows from the Ilulissat Icefjord, the largest icefjord on Earth, producing enormous, pristine-looking ice formations. The ice appears blindingly clean and can elicit strong emotional reactions in careful observers. The surrounding sea and ice present a spectrum of blues, from deep midnight in the ocean to an electric dragonfly blue within crevasses on icebergs.
