NARSAQ | Travel in Narsaq, Greenland

In this episode we were engrossed in the small community of Narsaq in Southern Greenland, starting out with a concert at the local community centre there. The whole town was present for Nanook’s, one of Greenland’s most successful bands, show.
We took to the water, as you do in Greenland, and went ice harvesting with Kattie Nielsen and Friðrik Magnússon who own Hotel Narsaq and Qajaq Brewery. They took us out with their family and we were absolutely blown away by the views on the water.
The ice is used at Friðrik’s microbrewery in the crafting of a truly unique brew. We, of course, had to try the stuff and had a mini tour from brewmaster Issac Milosavich.

NUUK - Travel in Nuuk, Greenland
Adventure, incredible hiking, fishing and boat rides - it doesn’t get much more picturesque than Greenland and nowhere more so than the capital city Nuuk.
If you loved our look at Nuuk, check out the site for more articles on Greenland - - and make sure to SUBSCRIBE for tons of travel porn, including two more episodes in Southern Greenland -

Nuuk is the capital of Greenland, and with about 17,000 residents, it holds almost a quarter of the population of the whole country.
In this episode, Brianna and Macca discover what the city has to offer and go on some epic adventures just outside of it.
There is a lot going on in this big city with a small town feel, from nightlife to concerts and more and more restaurants popping up.
Within minutes in any direction, you can find a gorgeous look out point.
We met up with Anna Nivika, a local food blogger who is really changing the way that Greenlanders use food.
We had to try some for ourselves, and got to experience a traditional Greenlandic BBQ on the beach at Inuk Hostels.
We went on two tours with Touring Greenland that blew us away. First, we visited the abandoned settlement of Kangeq and loved it so much that we planned another.
We went on the most incredible hike amongst mountains, streams and snow, ending up at the edge of a giant waterfall. We were met with a boat that picked us up and took us fishing for our dinner.
Once we had caught it, we visited a restaurant that cooked our fish for us, along with a plethora of other delicious treats.

Wilderness Trekking in Erik the Red's Land, Qassiarsuk to Narsaq, Greenland
Read the blog of this trek at:
This 6-day 67 km plus wilderness trek traversing the Narsaq Peninsula, dubbed Eric the Red's Land on account of the Norseman settling at Brattahlíð in 985, is one of the finest long distance treks Greenland has to offer, boasting panoramic and varied views combined with exciting and fascinating history and geology.
The trek crosses a wide variety of terrain, starting with the sheep farming areas near Qassiarsuk and Silisat before climbing 600m onto a plateau area of bogs and numerous lakes. The flora is very varied with a wide variety of flowering Arctic plants. This part of the peninsula is underlain by sandstones and basalt rocks about 1.3 billion years old and there are fabulous views to the south across the Tunulliarfik Fjord and its many icebergs. Mid way through the trek is a descent to 400m and the emergency hut (a pretty crude and poorly maintained shack) followed by a gradual re-ascent to the high point of 800m at a col.
After the col, the route enters a high mountainous area almost devoid of vegetation. This contains the Ilimaussaq igneous complex – a series of rare intrusive igneous rocks - which once formed the cores of volcanoes resulting from continental rifting (much like the present day Eastern African Rift). Erosion has caused the deep cores of the volcanoes to be visible, a sight rarely seen in the world; the Ilimaussaq complex is the best example worldwide. This region contains economically viable amounts of rare earths and uranium, although disquiet about exploiting the latter has so far precluded any real mining activity. There is however, one abandoned trial mine at Kvanefjeld which a short deviation from the route to Narsaq allows you to visit.
From the mine, a stony track through sheep farming country takes you the approximately 7km to the fishing port of Narsaq past a bay stuffed full of icebergs. Accommodation at Narsaq can be found at the Narsaq Hotel or Guesthouse. The hotel also has a café/restaurant.
We stayed at Narsarsuaq (near the international airport) across the Tunalliarfik Fjord from the village of Qassiarsuk, the starting point of the trek, which was a short boat transfer away. Similarly, at Narsaq, a boat took us back up the fjord to Narsarsuaq. The route that we took could feasibly be undertaken in 4-5 days, but we chose not to rush in order to comprehensively film it for posterity and to visit the Kvanefjeld Mine and mineral dumps.
