Greenlanders - no matter if they’re young or old - love to fish! And we think you'll enjoy it as well once you try it. Being in nature is a big part of the Greenlandic culture, and it involves sailing out to catch seals, picking berries and fishing, especially Redfish! These catches make up the traditional food that Greenlanders have been eating for hundreds of years. That’s why many of the locals have their own boats and, for example, have hunting as a main occupation or hunt a lot in their free time. Summer is the peak of sailing adventures and the locals gather with their family and friends to enjoy themselves in the wild with their fresh catch in the pot!

You’ll have the opportunity to see such a place inside the Nuuk fjord system, the name of it is, Qoornoq. Qoornoq is isolated in the fjord, and because of a glacier deeper in the fjord, you can see small and large icebergs just in front of the village.

It is, in fact, the record holder for the most amount of sunny days in a year, time and time again. On this tour, you’ll be driven around the area to different interesting viewpoints whilst listening to the guide tell about the history of everything in between certain buildings to the earliest inhabitants that arrived more than 4000 years ago and lay the grounds for a nearby area becoming a part of the highly noted UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The settlement as it is now is actually a product of the 2nd world war, starting off as an airbase for Americans in 1941. Kangerlussuaq served as a midway point for military personnel and airplanes as crossing the Atlantic in one flight wasn’t viable at the time. As time passed and the necessity for a midway point became less and less needed, the Americans eventually sold the airport to Greenland for 1 dkk, as long as they always had a right to land at the airport. This suddenly gave Greenland an international airport, and an extensive roadway system, unlike anywhere else in Greenland. This, as well as its incredible weather stability and numerous wildlife,  has made Kangerlussuaq a hub for tourists, researchers, and adventurers. In just 2 hours we’ll show you all the interesting sights, where you’ll learn about the Greenlandic culture and their ability to adapt to life in the Arctic.
