Ittoqqortoormiit, Greenland
Arrive: 7:00 am
Depart: 4:00 pm
The name "Ittoqqortoormiit" means "Big-House Dwellers" in the Eastern Greenlandic dialect.

Ittoqqortoormiit is located at Scoresby Sound and with its side fjord is the largest fjord complex in the world, as well as the world's longest fjord. Within its borders is the tallest mountain in the Arctic region, the two-mile-tall Gunnbjorn Mountain. During early spring, when the sea ice is still thick, yet the sun is high in the sky, many of the local people go out for a weekend on dog sledding trips. ... Read More
