East Greenland
The name of our district is Ammassalik. There are five settlements and one main village. The main village is Tasiilaq with aprox.1800 inhabitants. The airport is not located in Tasiilaq but in the village of Kulusuk and travel by helicopter is most reliable way of transport between Tasiilaq and Kulusuk. East Greenland is the most isolated area of Greenland. Only about 3000 live on the whole coast line that streches 2700km or 1700 miles. We consider our selves to live in a very speciel part of the world. The local population, here in the district of Ammassalik, consist mostly of local native inuit known in Greenland as tunumiu. East Greenland is for those looking for a new travel experience both culturally and scenic. The arctic conditions will remind travellers of our fragile world and the effects of global warming.
