Greenland
The gateway to East Greenland
East Greenland is one of the most isolated habitations in the
world. Along the 2,600 kilometres of coastline you’ll only
encounter two towns and 7 small settlements, inhabited by a little
more than 3,500 people. There is a natural reason for this very
sparse settlement: East Greenland is situated between the polar
sea ice and the Greenlandic Icecap, and is only accessible with
supply ships 5 months a year. An awesome wilderness of more than
1,457,000 km². including the world's largest national park.
Coming to Ammassalik you enter the very heart of East Greenland’s
exceptional beauty, and one of the most beautiful and unspoiled
arctic areas in the world. The awesome landscape has no parallel
in the entire arctic. A mosaic of steep, dramatic mountains, countless
lakes, streams and rivers, waterfalls, glaciers and green valleys.
Ammassalik radiates a purity, which has overwhelmed and fascinated
visitors throughout time.
Being just south of the Polar Circle, you’ll find the climate
in Ammassalik surprisingly comfortable. Summers are generally warm
and dry. Winters are relatively mild with lots of snow. Summer days
are long with just a few hours of dusk. Winter days are short, and
the perfect time for experiencing the Northern Lights.
