Frequently Asked Questions

By Zodiac, straight onto the shore: there is no pier for large ships. The boats drop passengers at the foot of the red, blue and yellow wooden houses.
Yes. The village sits hundreds of kilometres from any other community, at the mouth of Scoresby Sund, the largest fjord system on the planet.
The whole village fits within a few hundred metres: the small wooden church, the local museum in a traditional house, and the post office, where you can buy Greenlandic stamps and mail cards that will take weeks to reach Canada.
Within the village, yes. Beyond its edge, never without an armed escort: this is polar bear country, and the ship's guides keep movement tightly controlled.
"The place of the big houses," in the East Greenlandic dialect.
The waters and slopes of Scoresby Sund are among Greenland's best for musk ox, seals on drifting ice and, with luck, polar bear. Nothing is guaranteed, as anywhere in the Arctic.
Yes. Bring Danish kroner in small notes: stamps, local craft work and community contributions are paid on the spot, and payment options are limited.
Always ask permission before photographing a person or the inside of a home. The rule applies throughout Greenland and it completely changes the quality of the encounter.
Warm layers under a waterproof windbreaker, even at the height of summer: the thermometer rarely passes 5 °C and the fjord wind does the rest. Boots with good grip for the gravel streets.
Mainly in August and September, when expedition ships work up the east coast and the sea ice has retreated enough to open access.
