Spring

between winter and summer
The spring is beautiful, but incredibly short in Greenland. It is more like a transition between winter and summer and not a season on its own right.
In the Disko Bay there is a noticeable shift in the weather in the end of April and May, the temperature gets higher, the snow starts melting and creates natural waterfalls everywhere, and together with blooming flowers – and people – they make the Disko Bay region quite remarkable.
Some years the snow melts more slowly than others, but then you can enjoy what the winter season has to offer of experiences, a little longer under warmer atmosphere.
