Explore the ruins of the 14th-century Hvalsey Church and venture deep into the fjord to witness how these ancient remnants create the backdrop for daily farming life in southern Greenland. Continue to Qaqortoq, inhabited since the Viking era and now the largest town in South Greenland with just over 3,200 residents.
