Well, no info from me, though I have wanted to go for a long time. Iceland was magic, I have to get to Greenland one day. In summer, there are options from the UK: fly Icelandair to KEF, then pick up a small plane to Greenland, usually as a package.

Flying from London to Western US and Canada, we are often routed over Greenland - so near yet so far! - and we even managed the view eastbound between SEA and CPH in June, thankx to the midnight sun.

I remember seeing an edition of the Lonely Planet TV show on Greenland. In fact, I saw it twice - once on terrestial UK TV (Channel 4, I think) - which lasted 30 minutes minus ads and once on Discovery, which was one hour minus ads. Same presenter, etc, just the UK version was edited. (And I thought it was Americans who were supposed to have shorter attention spans ... )

I mention it in case you are able to track down a video or DVD.

Good luck!
