Kangersuatiaq (Proven) 72 23N 55 33W

This was as far north as we traveled in 2000 and it was an appropriate place to turn round. Kangersuatiaq is a Greenlandic town with few Scandinavian faces. Even so we managed to find someone who spoke English.

We arrived in a thick fog and I was glad we had the detailed chart #1650. We couldn't get the anchor to set on the rocky bottom so tied up to the ferry wharf.

Kangersuatiaq is very neat and tidy. The people obviously take pride in their community.
Seal meat hanging out to dry.

We saw lots of seal hunting going on all over Greenland, using a rifle from a small boat.

This gentleman is the police chief from Upernavik. He gave me a tour of the town and lots of interesting facts about Greenland.
