Kangilinnguit, located on the southwest coast of Greenland in the district of Keketalik, is an important research and military base in Greenland. Formerly known as Grønnedal, the town was once a core base for the Danish Navy, but today the Greenland Home Rule Government operates an Arctic monitoring facility in conjunction with Denmark, specializing in climate change, glacier research and monitoring of the polar environment. With a population of around 500, mostly researchers and their families, the town's infrastructure is designed to support polar survival, with long polar nights in the winter, short polar days in the summer, and magnificent views of the surrounding fjords and ice sheets. As a key point of penetration into the Arctic Circle, Kangerak is not only a research hub, but also an outpost for observing the dynamics of the Greenland Ice Sheet.
