The Qaanaaq area is the place to visit if you want to get really close to the Greenlandic Inuit culture. In fact, the settlement of Siorapaluk is one of the world’s most northerly settlements. Here the word authentic takes on a particular meaning. The landscape is very different and the conditions for family life are tough. You go to the Pilersuisoq supermarket to buy what the season demands and what you need to survive.
The inhabitants are living examples of a hardy population that manages to react to the challenges thrown at it by life and the prevailing circumstances. Over the centuries the inhabitants in the town and settlements have survived by hunting sea mammals and polar bears – and they still do so today.
A harsh wonderland
Qaanaaq is found under the shining star known as Ultima Thule. The surroundings are harsh and the views are more spectacular than you could ever imagine. It’s here you’ll find kamiks, adroit kayaks, bearskins and skulls on racks, midnight sun, pitch black nights and the magical northern lights. Step into this universe, meet the Inuit and learn about a very different way of life. Remember to visit the white house that contains Qaanaaq Museum. It was from here that seven of Knud Rasmussen’s Thule expeditions began.
The town slopes down to the sea. The roads are dead straight and the houses are organised in rows. New houses and modern houses are beginning to appear on the slope. It’s not like any other town, and no other towns have experienced a similar development in their history.
Dramatic history
In 1952 the Americans established Thule Air Base, which was extended just a year later. This had an impact on the original population from the settlement at Uummannaq, which was forced to move 100 km further north to the new town of Qaanaaq.

Hiking
It’s a short distance from towns and settlements to open expanses with lakes, fells and the sea. Remember your map and compass or let yourself be guided by an experienced pathfinder.
Ice cap
The Ice Cap in Greenland is thousands of years old, and its power is overwhelming and breathtaking. Look forward to meeting the largest ice cap in the northern hemisphere.
Kayaking
Kayaking in Greenland is for experienced rowers who enjoy the silent movement in waters with white mountains as a backdrop.
Archeology
They came from the north and they came from the south. A past that stretches back 4,500 years leaves traces that continue to live today in culture, sagas, legends and people.
Trophy hunting
A trophy from reindeer and musk ox is on many hunters' wish list. And in Greenland, the goal is within short reach; only about five hours journey from Denmark you can get on musk and reindeer hunting.
Angling
Do rods, spinners and fish in all shapes and sizes have you hooked? Fishing is a pastime that can be enjoyed at any time of the year by people who love the challenge of rivers and lakes.
Museums and art
Paintings, tooth, stone and bone. Greenland’s museums reflect the country’s cultural heritage and disseminate it using modern forms of expression.
Sailing
Embark, disembark, head ashore, then embark once more! But never miss out on the chance to take a sailing trip through the magnificent landscape that’s sure to sweep you off your feet.
