Located in southwestern Greenland, near Cape Favell, Ivittuut is one of Greenland's smallest towns, with a population of less than 100. Once a globally important source of cryolite in the 19th and 20th centuries, the deposits supplied a key raw material for the early aluminum industry. After the mines were closed, the town retained some of its historic sites, such as abandoned mineshafts and workers' dormitories, and has become a testament to the history of the polar industry. Located on the Arctic Circle, the surrounding fjords and glaciers are magnificent, with the midnight sun visible in summer and the aurora borealis spectacle in winter. Though small in size, the town has become a hidden destination for adventure enthusiasts visiting Greenland due to its unique blend of nature and humanity.
