Qeqertarsuaq

Quaintly scattered with homes in shades of blue, green and red,  Qeqertarsuaq is a small town on the island of Disko, characterized by snowy basalt mountains and the glaciers throughout. Despite the frigid temperatures, there is a wide variety of wildlife here, as a significant portion of Greenland's botanical species are found here. Just beyond town in the silvery grey sea, you'll see whales moving amongst the ice during the summers. Trek up the precipitous Lyngmark Glacier to experience unmatched views, where you can hop on a dogsled and glide across the glacial platform of ice under the midnight sun. Hiking is also popular along the slopes of the mountain behind town.
