Discover what life is like in one of the world’s most isolated settlements.

  • Explore one of the world’s most remote villages – Wander at your own pace through a remarkable settlement at the mouth of the Scoresby Sund fjord.

  • Witness daily Arctic rhythms – From hunters with their dogs to the weather balloon launch, experience life shaped by nature and tradition.


As a guest in Ittoqqortoormiit, you’ll discover the daily practices that sustain this remote community at the mouth of the Scoresby Sund fjord. Wander the village at your own pace, perhaps visit the church and museum, and catch local traditions unfold, such as the daily weather balloon launch, which helps to forecast weather patterns across Europe. You may also be invited to a kaffemik: enjoying coffee, cake, and conversation in a local home.
