Nanortalik Greenland

Nanortalik is the southernmost town in Greenland. The area is very unique in Greenland, and the landscape is like nowhere else in the country. There are deep fjords, small woodlands and prairies, and rugged mountainside cliffs. About 2,200 people live in the town and surrounding settlements, the main industries include seal hunting, fishing, tourism service, and local administration.Nanortalik: A Sleepy Coastal Town in Southern Greenland Tucked away in the fjords of southern Greenland is Nanortalik, the tenth largest town in the country (tenth largest might sound like a whole lot of people, but in Greenland that means a population of only 1300!).Brightly colored houses line the streets, immense mountain peaks rise in the distance, and icebergs float by in the bay.It’s a quiet place, with a totally different feeling from its southern counterpart, Qaqortoq, a town three times larger in population. 1809.jpg 1813.jpg 1822.jpg 1825.jpg 1826.jpg 1835.jpg 1842.jpg 1846.jpg Nanortallip Museum Nanortallip Museum Nanortallip Museum Nanortallip Museum 1856.jpg 1859.jpg 1860.jpg 1867.jpg 1896.jpg 1903.jpg 1905.jpg 1907.jpg 1910.jpg 1918.jpg 1919.jpg 1931.jpg 1933.jpg 1951.jpg 1962.jpg 1972.jpg 1977.jpg 1798.jpg comment | share Type your message and click Add Comment It is best to login or register first but you may post as a guest.
