Located in southeastern Greenland, Ammassalik (now known as Tasiilaq) is the largest settlement in the region, with about 2,000 inhabitants. It is situated on the shores of a fjord surrounded by majestic mountains and is known for its magnificent Arctic scenery, alternating between the midnight sun in summer and the aurora borealis in winter.
An important center of Inuit culture, Atangmek retains traditional hunting and craft practices, and the local museum displays a wealth of historical artifacts. Since the establishment of the colonial station in 1894, it has evolved into a cultural hub for East Greenland.
Visitors can experience dog sledding, whale watching, glacier hiking and more, with colorful log cabins contrasting with the icy landscape. Due to its location on the Arctic Circle, access is by helicopter or summer boat, and the best time to travel is from May to September.
The region has a tundra climate, with harsh, snowy winters and short, cool summers. Surrounded by glaciers, icebergs and wildlife such as seals and polar bears, it is a paradise for adventure lovers and nature photographers.
