Sites & settlements

Are you dreaming of authenticity, tranquility, and a natural setting that lets you breathe in the crisp Arctic air? Then Oqaatsut is the place for you.

Ilulissat is possibly the most well located town in Greenland. The name simply means ‘icebergs’ in Greenlandic and the town’s nickname is rightly ‘the Iceberg Capital’ due to it's close proximity to Ilulissat Icefjord - a UNESCO World Heritage Site!

The village of Kangerlussuaq, which means “big fjord” in Greenlandic, is in fact situated on a plain overlooking the 170-kilometer long fjord. At the fjord's midpoint lies The Arctic Circle.

There is ice, snow, heavy wind and extreme conditions. There are green-clad mountains, an abundance of flowers and unique wildlife. There is uninhabited land as far as the eye can see. There are small villages with ancient traditions and even high-rise buildings and modern society. Greenland is a land that is changing, but most of all, Greenland is a land worth conserving.
