This is the Blue River (or Rivers) of North West Greenland. It connects the Greenland's ice sheet to the Arctic Ocean. The Blue River is part of the melting Peterman Glacier. The lower areas of the glacier fill up with melted water ultimately creating crystal blue winding rivers.The river is never the same from year to year, but it is always beautiful and bright blue. If you search online, you will find an adventure company that provides exclusive vacation packages that can cost more $6000 for week. This doesn't mean accommodations are luxurious though :). Probably money well spent if kayaking is your thing! The river attracts explorers, scientists and adventurers. It might the most extreme kayaking experience I've seen online. You can visit the area anytime :). Summers are apparently intense and filled with lots of mosquitos. Oddly enough, the cold dry season seems to be the most popular amount tourist.
