Uummannaq Vacation Guide
Uummannaq is a beautiful place! One of the most beautiful places on Earth!
Uummannaq or Umanak is a town in north-west Greenland. Located at 70 degrees north, it is about halfway up Greenland's northwest coast.
Uummannaq is 700 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle, just north of Disko Island. Qaanaaq (Thule) lies several hundred miles further north. The town has a population of around 1,500 and is home to Greenland's most northerly ferry terminal.
Uummannaq is located on an island (Uummannaq Island) which is also home to Uummannaq Mountain. It rises very sharply to a height of 1170m. Climbing it requires technical skills. The mountain is heart-shaped. Indeed Uummannaq is Greenlandic for "heart-shaped".
Danish and Greenlandic children believe that Santa Claus lives on the bay of Spraglebugten on the west of the island. A turf hut (Santa's Castle) was built there for a Danish television programme and remains Santa's home in the popular imagination.
Uummannaq Fjord is the general name given to the series of inlets into the Greenlandic mainland north of the promontory at Niaqornat on the Nuussuaq Peninsula.
Air Greenland operates air services to Uummannaq. In addition to being a hunting and fishing base, there is a canning factory and a marble quarry located nearby.
The Greenlandic heavy metal band Siissisoq comes from Uummannaq.
