Can you actually do a road-trip in Greenland?
There is of course the epic Top Gear episode where they went for the North Pole.
I came across this short youtube film on some driving the only "freeway" in Greenland. It seems you can drive on Greenland if you are not supported by a television network. Google maps don't show a road map.
So can I do a road-trip in Greenland and where do I need to go?

Can you drive around Greenland?
Driving in Greenland is unlike anywhere else in the world. The longest road runs for about 51kms, there are no roads between towns, and there is no car ferry to transport your vehicle from one place to the next. You are therefore confined to a small area around each town.How long would it take to travel across Greenland?
We anticipate that the crossing will take 22 to 30 days, travelling a distance of approximately 18-20km each day ranging from 6 to 8 active hours a day. It will take around 10-16 days to climb from the Hahn Glacier up to the highest part of the Greenland ice sheet at 2500 metres.Is a trip to Greenland worth it?
Traveling in the Arctic is not cheap. Iceland and the more northerly reaches of other Scandinavian countries are also quite expensive. But making the trip to Greenland is absolutely worth the money.How many days do you need in Greenland?
Greenland is a huge island, and there are many interesting small towns worth visiting. I recommend spending at least 1 week in Greenland, since you have already spent a big chunk of money getting here.Travel Tips For Greenland | How To Spend Your Holiday In Greenland | Visit Nuuk
