Nuuk

Nuuk, a small town in Greenland, is located along the southwest coast of Greenland. Its unspoiled nature, of a unique beauty, its very ancient history and its old traditions make it an ideal place to get to know Greenlandic culture better. The name of the city, symbol of its cultural identity, means "head/promontory" and is linked to its physical conformation.

This name is not the original one, but it was assigned to the city only in 1979. The history of the city has very ancient origins, the first settlements date back to 2200 BC by Aboriginal populations. Later, the Vikings invaded the city and subjected it to their power for more than five centuries and then abandoned it around 1450. Despite its ancient history, the date of foundation of the city actually dates back to 1728 when missionary Hans Egede reached the territory on behalf of the crown of Denmark and Norway to convert the region to Lutheranism. The city has a rich cultural tradition mainly linked to the Aboriginal populations that inhabit the territory.

It is estimated that the city has the highest rate of Aboriginal population compared to any other city in the country. The city is a perfect mix of Aboriginal culture and Danish influence. The presence of the latter in the region is still visible today, for example in the colorful single-family houses scattered throughout the city. Among the many activities offered by the city, the one that attracts the largest number of tourists every year is the aurora borealis. The ideal period to witness this spectacle is from August to April. Nuuk is an important port for cruise ships to discover Greenland and North America. The port always welcomes numerous cruise ships, offering passengers the opportunity to explore the city and the rest of the country.

Kangerlussuaq

Kangerlussuaq is a small town located in the western area of Greenland known for being rich in history, culture and places to discover. The name of the city means "great fjord" in the Greenlandic language and is linked to its geographical position, within one of the largest fjords in the country. The history of the city is marked by a strong foreign presence since its foundation, which took place in 1941 by Nazi Germany, up to the more recent days when the Americans decided to definitively abandon the city in 1992. Following a period of German rule, Kangerlussuaq became part of the American territory, becoming an important military base given its strategic geographical position.

After a short period in which the Danes regained control of the area, the outbreak of the Cold War brought the territory back into the hands of the Americans. Inevitably with the decline of tensions between the two great world powers, the military base lost the importance it had acquired and the dissolution of the USSR led the Americans to definitively abandon the territory. For history lovers, a visit to the ancient military base is what's right for you.

Here it is possible to see the signs of the American presence and immerse yourself in the history of the city. Its rich wildlife and its being an ideal starting point for those who want to explore the enormous ice cap also make Kangerlussuaq an ideal destination for nature lovers. Even if the temperatures are often very low and may seem limiting for visiting the city, there are, however, unmissable activities, so cover yourselves and go on an adventure! Among the many activities available, the opportunity to go on a dog sled is an unforgettable experience that deserves to be realized and immortalized to share it with all your friends.

If this activity takes place mainly in the winter months, during the summer hiking and wildlife watching are the main activities. The best way to reach the city is on board a cruise ship. Choosing a cruise that departs from Kangerlussuaq or has this city as a stop is the ideal choice for those who want to visit Greenland and North America. Don't miss this opportunity and choose a cruise from Kangerlussuaq!
