Sisimiut

Sisimiut lies along the Davis Strait coast of western Greenland, where a rocky, island-dotted shoreline rises into hills and Arctic tundra. As Greenland’s second-largest town and the administrative centre of Qeqqata, it is an important west-coast community north of the Arctic Circle. The Danish trading post of Holsteinsborg was founded here in 1756; Sisimiut Museum recalls the town’s past in former colonial buildings. Sisimiut is also the western starting point of the Arctic Circle Trail to Kangerlussuaq, a long-distance route across Greenland’s interior.
