About Ittoqqortoormiit

Ittoqqortoormiit is one of Greenland's most remote settlements, located on the country's isolated eastern coast. Surrounded by enormous fjords, mountains and Arctic wilderness, it is home to only a few hundred people. The settlement is known for its colorful houses, traditional hunting culture and extraordinary isolation.

Life on the Edge of the Arctic

Ittoqqortoormiit offers an experience unlike almost anywhere else in the world. Sea ice surrounds the area for much of the year, while polar bears, musk oxen, Arctic foxes and whales inhabit the surrounding wilderness. During winter, the town experiences long periods of darkness, while summer brings almost continuous daylight. With no roads connecting it to other Greenlandic settlements, travel is primarily by boat, helicopter or snowmobile, making Ittoqqortoormiit a remarkable example of life in the remote Arctic.
