Frequently Asked Questions
At anchor: ships drop the hook in the bay and land passengers at the tender quay right in the centre. The old colonial quarter is about five minutes' walk away.
It is Greenland's second-largest settlement, with just over 5,500 residents, 75 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle. Its energy is a surprise in such rough surroundings.
The colonial quarter and its museum, the blue church of 1775 — Greenland's second oldest — and the still-working fishing harbour. There is time left for the Taseralik cultural centre by the lake.
The entrance to the museum: an archway formed of whale jawbones, a reminder of the era when whaling supported the colony founded by the Danes in 1756 as Holsteinsborg.
Collections covering 4,500 years of human occupation, back to the Saqqaq culture: hunting tools, kayaks, skin clothing sewn with sinew. Every object testifies to the ingenuity required to live off the sea and the tundra.
Because it is the northernmost town in the country whose harbour stays ice-free year round, and the southernmost where dog sledding is practised. In summer, hikers set out for Nasaasaaq or onto the Arctic Circle Trail.
Yes. Nasaasaaq, the peak watching over the rooftops, is climbed on trails starting from town. The Arctic Circle Trail links the coast to the interior over several days of walking — beyond the reach of a port call.
Because hundreds of Greenlandic huskies are tethered near the houses. In winter, teams set off straight from the residential streets: the sled is transport, not an attraction.
The Danish krone (DKK). Craft workshops sell carvings in bone and caribou antler and traditional beadwork; keep small notes for them.
Fish drying racks beside the houses, snowmobiles waiting for winter, children outdoors in any weather. The supermarket sells Danish products alongside seal and reindeer, and conversations shift from Greenlandic to Danish mid-sentence.
