The city

What to expect from Nanortalik.

A small town of about a thousand inhabitants on an island at the extreme south, whose name means “place of polar bears” in Greenlandic. The old harbour houses became a museum, and trails lead from the streets up the island’s hills. This is the departure point for boats to the Tasermiut mountains and the hot bath at Uunartoq.
