The Far North of Greenland is sparsely inhabited and exceptionally cold. Even getting here is an achievement, and getting around is an exercise in planning, as the tourist infrastructure found in other parts of Greenland simply is not present here.
Qaanaaq, formerly known as Thule, in northern Greenland is one of the world's northernmost civilian settlements, topped only by Longyearbyen on Svalbard and a few military bases. Getting here will be a challenge, as permits may be required for use of the Pituffik Space Base (formerly Thule Air Base), 100 km away and under U.S. control.
Upernavik is home to the largest bird cliff, Apparsuit, and unique wildlife. Upernavik’s main industry is fishing.
