Things to do
Ammassalik Fjord

In its northern portion, the fjord is oriented north to south; halfway through, it turns to the south-west-south approximately.Although the southern, increasingly wider half of the fjord divides the large Ammassalik Island in the west from the islands of the Ammassalik Archipelago in the east and southeast, including the largest island, Apusiaajik Island, the northern shores of the fjord divide peninsulas of the Greenland mainland.

Jakobshavn Isbræ
Situated close to the Greenlandic Ilulissat lies the outlet glacier known as the Jakobshavn Isbrae. The glacier makes up a large portion of the ice mass in Greenland. There are roughly 6.5% of the inland ice in its catchment area. Its ice empties into Greenland’s west coast’s Ilulissat Icefjord. The glacier calves more frequently than any other in the northern hemisphere because of the 35 billion tons of icebergs that break off from its glacier tongue every year. A single iceberg can have a length of several kilometers and a height of up to one kilometer.
