How do I get to Greenland from Korea?

No direct flights run from Korea to Greenland. The most common route is via Copenhagen in Denmark, then on to Nuuk Airport in Greenland. The total journey takes about 20–24 hours or more, including the layover. In the summer season, there are also flights via Reykjavik in Iceland.

When can I see the aurora in Greenland?

The best time to see the aurora in Greenland is between September and March. November–February in particular has long nights and many clear days, so your chances of seeing the aurora are high. Inland areas such as Ilulissat and Kangerlussuaq are famous for aurora viewing. An eSIM connection is a big help for checking aurora forecast apps in real time.

How do I travel between towns within Greenland?

In Greenland, towns and villages are not connected by road. To travel between settlements, you have to use small planes or helicopters, or ferries and boats. Air Greenland and Air Iceland Connect operate the main domestic routes. An internet connection is also essential for booking flights and checking flight schedules.

If Greenland's network coverage is 60%, could the internet fail when I explore remote areas?

Yes, that's right. Many places in Greenland's inland ice fields and remote fjord areas are out of signal range. Tusass's 4G/LTE network is provided mainly in the main inhabited towns such as Nuuk, Sisimiut and Ilulissat, and at some tourist hubs. If you are planning a polar trek or a remote expedition, we recommend arranging satellite communication equipment or a guide separately.

Can I plug in my Korean electronics in Greenland?

Greenland uses European-style sockets (Type C/E/F/K). The Type C plugs used in Korea can be used in most places in Greenland too, so you can often charge without a separate adapter. However, Type K is a somewhat different shape, so packing a multi-adapter makes things even easier.

Does eSIM work in Greenland?

Greenland supports eSIM, and plans start from ₩7,971. Install it with the QR code you receive after buying, then just turn on data roaming after you arrive and you are connected straight away. There is no need to swap your SIM.

Travel eSIM or carrier roaming: which is cheaper for a trip to Greenland?

For a short trip or light data use, a travel eSIM is usually cheaper. Unlimited roaming from Korean carriers costs about ₩11,000–₩15,000 a day, but with an eSIM you can buy just the days of data you need in advance. For a short trip for one or two people, an eSIM has a big advantage; for a family or very heavy data use, compare carrier unlimited roaming too.

Can I keep using my Korean number while travelling in Greenland?

Yes. The eSIM works as a data-only second line, so your Korean SIM and number stay as they are. Use the Yeohaengyusim eSIM for data only, and keep receiving calls, texts and KakaoTalk on your Korean number.

Can I add to or extend my Greenland eSIM plan?

Yes. When you use up your data or the plan period ends, you can buy a new plan at any time. Keep using the eSIM profile you already installed; there is no need to install it again, so you carry on without interruption.

Can I use tethering (hotspot) in Greenland?

Yes. In Greenland you can share your eSIM data with other devices such as a laptop or tablet by tethering (hotspot). Shared data also comes out of your plan allowance, so if you tether a lot we recommend choosing a little more data.

Do I set up the eSIM before I leave or after I arrive?

We recommend installing it (registering the QR code) before you leave, while you have Wi-Fi. Data starts when you turn on data roaming after you arrive in Greenland. Just remember "set up before you leave, switch on when you arrive" and you can use the internet as soon as you land.

How many GB of data do I need for a trip to Greenland?

For mostly maps and messaging, we recommend about 1 GB a day; to use plenty of social media and photo uploads, about 2 GB a day. If you stream a lot of video or tether a lot, an unlimited plan is better. You can always buy more if you run short, so it is fine to choose a little extra at first.

Greenland, a pure white land at the end of the world, is the largest and most mysterious island on Earth. Walking on huge glaciers, taking in the stunning fjords and watching the aurora light up the night sky will become memories you never forget. From the charming streets of the capital, Nuuk, to the Ilulissat glacier area, Greenland is all the more special a destination because it is not easy to reach from Korea. To travel safely without getting lost, even on a polar expedition like this, a stable internet connection is essential. If you install a Yeohaengyusim eSIM in advance, you can check maps, weather information and even aurora forecasts from the moment you arrive at Nuuk Airport. In Greenland, where a local SIM is hard to come by, an eSIM is not an option but a must.

Why you really need an eSIM in Greenland

Greenland is one of the most sparsely populated places in the world. It is a unique country with no roads between towns and villages, so you have to take a plane or a boat every time you travel. In these conditions, buying or swapping a local SIM is a real hassle, and there are very few places to buy one in the first place. If you install a Yeohaengyusim eSIM in Korea in advance, you can put these worries to rest completely. Tusass, which runs Greenland's telecoms, operates a 4G/LTE network centred on the main settlements such as Nuuk, Sisimiut and Ilulissat. Coverage is about 60% and mainly connects the main towns and tourist sites, so it pays to work out your itinerary in advance. In such a harsh natural environment, internet on your smartphone is directly linked to your safety, from checking aurora forecast apps to booking local tours and getting in touch in an emergency. Enjoy Greenland's great outdoors more safely and smartly with a Yeohaengyusim eSIM, which installs with a single QR code and no SIM swap.
