Recently, I selected five books for a list of “The best books to read if you want to get to know Greenland”. These five books are, in my opinion, a good introduction to Greenland’s history, culture, and wildlife. Sure, there are many books about Greenland, but if was visiting, especially if I was on an adventure cruise, I would hope the ship’s library had these books. Click the link above to get a personal twist on why I chose these books.
Of course, as a reward for compiling the list, I was allowed to include one of my own. 😉
The missing cover on the page is for this book: Benny Génsbøl’s “A Nature and Wildlife Guide to Greenland”. If you’re visiting Greenland you need this book! The illustrations are amazing, and make identifying just about anything, that much easier. Seriously good book!

Thanks for that Chris. Seven Graves was the first of many(52?)of yours. Miss Smillas Feeling for Snow(UK version?) is certainly one of my favourites.
I was given ‘The Arctic’ by Richard Sale & Per Michelsen. Shows ALL aspects of arctic life. Great book.
All the best.

Thanks, Graham. It was tricky to narrow it down to 5 books so I went for those with a personal or practical application. I have lots of Danish language books that I could recommend, but relatively few of them are available in English.
