Yes you read that right, trees in Greenland. The Qinngua Valley has the only natural forest in Greenland. It is about 15 kilometers long. It is protected from the cold glacier winds by the mountains surrounding it. It is believed that other forests of this type once existed in Greenland but were cleared by early settlers for firewood or building material.

It's one of the most remote and untouched locations on earth and it would be extremely difficult to travel there but I still thought it was cool.

That's just way too long a flight for me. I don't fly anymore. Seats too narrow, rules too many, can't bring water or ice or weed, don't want to get in trouble for some random thing I never thought about, nah, just gonna drive and stick good ol' USA.

taiga is kinda repetitive anyways
the prettiest is the mixed deciduous-coniferous at higher elevations like around richwood, marlinton, and webster springs WV
>but that's hicks
you are there to look at pretty trees

also lilley cornett woods has the biggest trees in the east at least by width I think you need to make an appointment and it's guided hikes only but they are nice about it

If you are into trees no reason to leave the usa, you've got giant oaks in MD, giant oaks in fl or CA, both types of redwoods in CA, Aspens in the mountain west, deciduous up and down the east coast, rain forests in Washington. Nature outside the usa is underwhelming

>you've got giant oaks in MD

I don't go west of the Miss river except I wanna see the Ozarks.

Bretty neat. Viking explorers described Iceland as being covered in birch forest, i imagine that's what it must have looked like.
If you fly from London to Boston you always fly over the east coast Greenlandic fjords, so I've traveled there many times in my mind.

There's a huge number of tropical fruit trees that don't grow anywhere in the USA
