Uummannaq is what tourists would call the "real" Greenland. A majestic and harsh landscape with tall mountains, rare vegetation, many glaciers and icebergs, and a population to whom fishing and hunting by dog sledge and boat is a natural part of daily life.
The district of Uummannaq has 7 settlements and is a very typical dog sledging district. The inhabitants live mainly by hunting and fishing.
Uummannaq is one of Greenland's northernmost municipalities.
The town is surrounded by islands and peninsulas, up to 2,000 meters high.
The sea around Uummannaq is rich in whales, and impressive icebergs can be seen everywhere, ice mountains in shades of blue and white, with fantastic shapes. They stem from the world's fastest moving glacier, originating from the inland ice.
And this is where visitors will find a special type of hospitality. As in these areas, hospitality has never been a question of just friendliness, but a matter of survival. Hospitality, a sense of humor and a respect for nature are deeply ingrained in the local population.
