Tasiilaq

Tasiilaq lies along the sheltered King Oscar Harbour on Greenland’s southeast coast, where steep, snow-streaked mountains rise behind a settlement facing a maze of islands and fjords. It is the largest town in East Greenland and an important local centre for communities spread across this remote Arctic shore. Founded as the Danish trading station of Ammassalik in 1894, Tasiilaq remains closely connected with Greenlandic Inuit traditions, fishing and dog-sled culture. The nearby Sermilik Fjord is known for its icebergs, while the town’s brightly painted houses give the harbour a clear human scale against the vast terrain.
