Kulusuk

Perched on an island off the eastern coast of Greenland, Kulusuk is a quintessentially Greenlandic town where the people still employ hunting and fishing as their primary means of sustenance. With a population of no more than 300, Kulusuk appears to be frozen in time; a cultural preserve where time-honored traditions still thrive. The local artists are known for their Tupilak figurines, while storytellers meet at the church to share age-old Inuit legends. The rugged landscape of Kulusuk is a haven for outdoors adventurers too, appealing to mountaineers, hikers and explorers with a wide variety of activities throughout the year. Dog sledding, flightseeing, hiking expeditions and boat tours are just a few of the options at hand. Backed by sweeping vistas of ice-laden fjords and snow-dappled mountains, Kulusuk is as typically Greenlandic as it gets.
