   Where is Kangerlussuaq in Greenland?

   • “Kangerlussuaq” means “big fjord” in Kalaallisut (the Greenlandic language). It is located about 319km (straight-line distance) North of the capital of Nuuk on the west coast and is Greenland’s only “inland” town. Technically it is still on the coast, but it does lie ~160km from the main coastline, at the end of the big fjord for which it is named.

Otherwise, it is a 39 km (24.23 mi) one-way hike!
