Greenland Outdoors

Kangerlussuaq is a unique place, in Greenland as well as world-wide. Where else do you find an international airport at a settlement of 530 inhabitants with no roads to any city?

The matter of fact Kangerlussuaq is sorrounded by vast arctic wilderness in all directions to the nearest settlement Sarfannguit with 120 inhabitants, 100 km away on an island by the coast. In other words this place offers the perfect venue for great nature experiences for all ages.

Kangerlussuaq is the only place in the world with a road accesable for the traveler to the biggest ice sheet on the Northern Hemisphere; the Greenlandic Ice Cap. The coast with its changing and more humid weather is far west of here where high mountains draws most of the humidity out of the sea-air before it reaches Kangerlussuaq. These factors give Kangerlussuaq the stable weather that have been enjoyed by the first Saqqaq people comig here 4500 years ago and have been a major reason for the Kangerlussuaq Airport ever being build.
