In Greenland, admire the colourful villages that contrast with the white snow. Introduced by the Danes in the 18th century, these bright colours had a real meaning for finding your way in the winter fog: red for shops, blue for government offices and the police, yellow for hospitals, green for churches. Today, each resident chooses their own shade, bringing warmth and cheer to the heart of the Arctic winter.​ What secrets of Greenland would you like to discover when visiting these villages?​ 🎥
