Located on its namesake island in the Labrador Sea, Nanortalik is the country's southern-most town. The name Nanortalik means "Place of Polar Bears" because the pack ice brings the animals to the area in the spring and summer.

From kayaking excursions and whale watching tours, to hiking, fishing, climbing or simply soaking in a hot spring, there are many ways you can experience this unique region.

Although the fishing industry has since declined, today the small town acts as a base from which outdoor adventures abound. From wildlife tours where you might encounter whales and kayaking to birding and hiking in the Blue Mountains, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

As the country's capital and largest city (population less than 18,000), Nuuk sits at the mouth of an expansive fjord in southwest Greenland.
