On this guided city walk in Qeqertarsuaq you will learn about the history of Qeqertarsuaq as well as modern life above the polar circle. Qeqertarsuaq was founded in 1773 as a whaling station and today it has approx. 850 inhabitants. The city and the island, a bit confusingly, has the same name which in Greenlandic simply means ‘The big island’.  The primary occupation is fishing and hunting, especially fishing for snow crabs and lumpfish is important – seeing the busy harbor is therefore always interesting. We will walk around town and the guide will tell you about the culture-history as well as the modern life above the polar circle.
