Nuuk
The smallest capital in the world, at the mouth of a fjord system larger than some countries.
Greenland’s way in
Nuuk holds about a third of Greenland’s population in a town of coloured houses between the sea and Sermitsiaq mountain. The new international runway means it can now be reached directly from Copenhagen, which has changed how a Greenland programme is built.
The Nuup Kangerlua fjord system behind the town runs more than a hundred kilometres inland to the ice sheet, with abandoned settlements, whale grounds and a glacier front at the head. The National Museum holds the Qilakitsoq mummies and is worth real time.
