6 hours in otherworldly Uummannaq

Ilulissat is home to the UNESCO listed Ilulissat Icefjord, where whale blows or sled dog paws echo off icebergs larger than your imagination.

Location: Parabolen, Uummannaq Meat from marine mammals, game, birds, and fish has been the main ingredient in Greenlandic food for generations. The high meat content in the diet provided energy and nourishment all year round for a physically demanding existence where the harsh Arctic winter could seriously tax one’s energy reserves. The Greenlandic culinary culture is also closely tied to the old hunting community’s strong social solidarity, where vital necessities depended on the catch being shared. Today food and mealtimes remain a central part of Greenlanders’ characteristic hospitality.
