East Greenland

East Greenland is one of the most remote and pristine regions on Earth, offering breathtaking landscapes, rich Inuit culture, and thrilling Arctic adventures. With vast ice-covered fjords, towering mountains, and small, isolated communities, this part of Greenland remains largely untouched by modern development, making it a paradise for nature lovers and explorers.

Tasiilaq
Located in Ammassalik region on Ammassalik Island, Tasiilaq is home to around 2000 residents, making it the most populated town in East Greenland. Despite its isolation, Tasiilaq has a strong and welcoming community where traditional Inuit culture thrives alongside modern life.
The town’s colorful houses contrast beautifully with the rugged Arctic landscape, creating a picturesque setting for visitors exploring Greenland’s wild east coast.

Surrounding Tasiilaq, five small settlements (Kulusuk, Tiniteqilaaq, Kuumiut, Sermiligaaq and Isortoq) offer a glimpse into the traditional way of life in East Greenland. These remote communities are home to resilient people who rely on hunting, fishing, and a deep connection to nature. Each settlement has its own unique character, history, and stunning natural surroundings.
