Today, Kangerlussuaq is Greenland’s main hub for all air traffic, but many years ago the area was actually a US air base. Of course, the area is much more than that. As far back as the Saqqaq culture, 4,000 years ago, the area was a prime target for hunters. The hunting conditions were incredibly good. Today, the area is enjoyed especially in summer by nature lovers, scientists, and those who go in search of the Northern Lights in winter. Kangerlussuaq is also a great destination for people who want to try dog sledding.

Today, around 500 people live in Kangerlussuaq, which represents just under 1 percent of the Greenlandic population.
