Frequently Asked Questions

Expedition ships anchor in the bay and land passengers by Zodiac or tender straight at the small harbour. No shuttle is needed after that.
Yes. The church, the museum and the historic quays are all within five to ten minutes' walk. The ground rises gently and you find your way by instinct, following the steeples and the coloured façades.
Fredens Kirke, built in 1909: a red wooden silhouette with pale trim, Norwegian in inspiration, and one of the finest churches in the country. The interior is plain and full of light.
Traditional kayaks, hunting tools, skin clothing and small soapstone carvings — the soft stone local craftspeople still work. The museum occupies a group of preserved Danish colonial buildings.
"Those who live at the mouth." The town, founded in 1742 as Frederikshåb, has about 1,300 residents on Greenland's southwest coast.
White-tailed eagles nest nearby, so looking up regularly is part of the walk. The surrounding waters are also among the better whale-watching areas of the southwest coast, mostly viewed from the ship's deck.
Yes, bring Danish kroner. A few artisans sell beadwork, reindeer antler or soapstone from their homes or at the community house, and card payment is not always possible.
A grocery store and a post office, and that is about it. No car rental, no conventional tourist infrastructure. Whatever you need, bring it from the ship.
No, though the ground is uneven in places. Sturdy walking shoes are plenty.
No famous monument, no grand panorama, but an hour or two of Greenlandic life with nothing staged: the drying racks, the co-op, the children near the harbour. It is a spare kind of call, and that is exactly what stays with you.
