Maniitsoq

Greenland

Maniitsoq is a town on the west coast of Greenland, among an archipelago of islands at the edge of the Davis Strait. Its name means the uneven place, for the rugged terrain surrounding it. A hunting and fishing community, visitors encounter the local museum's archaeology, the dramatic island-dotted coastline, whale watching, access to the Eternity Fjord's glaciers, and the authentic life of a small Greenlandic town away from the main tourist route.
