Sisimiut, Greenland

We traveled overnight and into the morning up the west coast of Greenland to Sisimiut.  It is a town of 6,000 inhabitants that was founded in 1756 and is Greenland's second largest municipality.  It's main industry is fishing.  We had a nice walk around the small town with buildings perched on the surrounding hills.

Approaching the dock.

Including the second oldest church in Greenland, dating from 1775.


The "qajaq" or "kayak" club where they make kayaks using traditional methods.
