For millennia, the elusive beauty of the Northern Lights have captivated travelers worldwide, proving their magnetic draw. As more and more people flock to the northernmost parts of the world to try and catch a glimpse of the famous celestial light show, the international Northern Lights tourism industry has undergone a remarkable evolution, transitioning from niche interest to burgeoning global business.

Greenland is covered by ice on nearly 80% of its surface, making business activities in this area rather difficult.

In fact, it has been predicted that in the next few decades the Arctic Ocean will be almost all open water. While this is bad for the environment, it does open up new opportunities for business.
