Situated just South of the Arctic Circle lies Ammassalik. Ammassalik has around 1,700 inhabitants, making it the only town of any size on Greenland’s rugged and isolated East Coast. Ammassilik is known to residents as ‘Tasiilaq’. The town is beautifully situated in a protective fjord and can be accessed via a short helicopter ride from Kulusuk, one of the most scenic flights imaginable.
As you cross the ice-filled sea separating these two mountainous islands, the scenery is spectacular, ringed by high rugged mountains, sweeping glaciers and ice-filled fjords. Ammassalik is characterised by its small wooden houses painted in various colours and where the old Inuit traditions of hunting and fishing are still very much alive.
