So many places in the world are getting overcrowded. Barcelona and Venice definitely don\u2019t need more visitors in the summer! But then there are places like Southern Greenland, where my son and I hiked and explored for a week and barely saw any other tourists. Instead, we unplugged, went fishing, kayaked among icebergs, slept on sheep farms, rode Icelandic ponies between the sheep farms, visited glaciers, and had a slow but active week in a beautiful, peaceful location. It\u2019s not easy to get to \u2013 virtually all flights go through Copenhagen or Reykjavik \u2014 but it\u2019s well worth the trek to have the world\u2019s largest island to yourself.
