Maniitsoq

Maniitsoq, Greenland

Maniitsoq, Greenland fully lives up to its name, which means 'the rugged place'. Deep, narrow fjords and some of the highest mountains in West Greenland are typical for the area. The town is surrounded by an impressive archipelago where many of the almost 3,000 inhabitants have built hunting and weekend cabins. Enjoy a sailing trip on Hamborger Sound north of Maniitsoq for a breathtaking experience in a sheltered sound with smooth water and jagged mountain peaks. Outdoor enthusiasts can go angling in the summer, take a hike, or a sailing trip to the glacier-filled Evighedsfjord with its 2,000-metre high mountains.
