Qeqqata

Qeqqata is recognised across Greenland for the Arctic Circle Trail, the long-distance route linking Kangerlussuaq with Sisimiut. This vast central-western municipality reaches from the edge of the Greenland Ice Sheet to the Davis Strait coast, crossing open tundra, lakes and deeply cut fjords. Kangerlussuaq developed around an airfield built by the United States during the Second World War, while Sisimiut remains an important fishing town and Greenland’s second-largest urban centre. Inuit traditions, sea-based livelihoods and the scale of the Arctic interior shape everyday life here.
