It is March and the lovely EnigMarch people have challenged puzzle designers to write a puzzle inspired by today's word: "route".
Oh no! The USA clown President Trump (egged on by his buffoonish adviser Elon Musk) keeps threatening to take over Greenland. He seems to think Greenlanders will welcome the USA as liberators. Why? Because he's stupid. (For some history of why Greenlanders might not appreciate the USA or Denmark rule, you might refresh your memories of that time America dropped some nuclear bombs there by accident and then some very unhappy people had to go into some very cold water to retrieve those bombs.)
Usha Vance, V.P.J.D. Vance's wife, planned to go to Greenland for some P.R. Her plan: visit some friendly Greenlanders, view a big dogsled race, spread goodwill. But when her aides scouted ahead to find someone, anyone in Greenland who wanted to meet her, they got no takers. So that part of her itinerary got discarded. Then they figured out just how popular the US isn't in Greenland right now, and the dogsled race part of her itinerary got discarded, too. In the end, she just visited a US military base.
To honor the efforts of her hapless aides wandering the streets of Nuuk in forlorn hope of a friendly face, here's a maze for you to find a route through from top to bottom. (No secret message today, just a maze to wander.) Ice cubes are walls; black squares you can walk on. There are some cold-ish emoji scattered about; they might be handy landmarks.

Hints, rot-13'd:
These hints are the "landmark" emoji you'll encounter going from north to south. If you were hoping for directions from south to north, maybe decode 'em from the bottom.
