Kangerlussuaq is a settlement on the west coast of Greenland with its origins in a US air base established in 1941. These days it is the island’s main transport hub and the site of the main commercial airport for international flights. Greenland’s outstanding natural beauty and unique climatic conditions are making it an increasingly popular tourist destination. For most visitors, Kangerlussuaq is the first port of call and its dramatic situation on the mouth of a 118 mile (190 km) long fjord is immediately impressive. Visitors drawn by the spectacular Greenland ice sheet can find excursions from Kangerlussuaq to the Russell Glacier, about 12 miles (20 km) away, by car or dog sled. Visitors who are not deterred by temperatures in Kangerlussuaq that can average around -20 degrees between November and March are rewarded by the spectacular celestial display of the Northern Lights. The clear skies and stable weather over Kangerlussuaq make viewing conditions ideal. Wildlife enthusiasts are also attracted to the region. Hiking through the tundra around the town offers opportunities to spot arctic hares, caribou, musk oxen and gyrfalcons, the world’s largest species of falcon. Alternative means of transport include snowmobiles or the hardy Icelandic ponies stabled in Kangerlussuaq. Adventurous visitors are also offered ice cave exploration, climbing and rappelling.
