Narsarsuaq means the great plain, and the airport is the international gateway to South Greenland. The runway’s nearest neighbour is the fjord with its own ‘natives’ – attractive icebergs. Navigating a zigzagging path between the icebergs to the calving Qoorooq glacier may well be your first experience of sailing in South Greenland.
History speaks for itself
South Greenland is Icelander Erik the Red’s country. He initially explored the region from 982 until 985. He then made his home in a settlement which he christened Brattahlid, which today is the sheep-farmers’ settlement of Qassiarsuk. It’s just 30 minutes away by boat across from the airport, and it’s here you’ll find the earliest remnants of the early Vikings. In South Greenland more than 500 groups of ruins have been found scattered throughout the entire area, and it’s easy to feel the presence of history as you walk amongst sheep and horses in a mild and fertile landscape.
Colorful and blooming
Overwhelming and surprising! The flowers can cause even the most hard-bitten hiker to catch their breath. The colours of the flowers change in line with the subterranean deposits, and the different species are everywhere. Five species of orchid, rosebay willow herb and angelica sway in the wind. Prick up your ears and your sensory awareness of the colours, the scent and the purling of the meltwater in the nearby river will be heightened. The peregrine falcon may even be out flying in your honour.
Drop by the tourist office to pick up material that enables you to get the most out of the trip. It’s also here that you can hear about unforgettable helicopter flights and sailing trips.
Welcome to the experiences of the other world. Where else can you find snow, ice, mountains, sea and whales close to green plains with potato fields? Go exploring for new exciting experiences right here.
