Uummannaq 70 41N 52 08W

This is a beautiful town on a beautiful island in the middle of Uummannaq fiord. It is a popular tourist destination.

The mountain which dominates the island was visible from 50 miles away.

Sometimes there is a submerged ice boom stretched across the harbour mouth. It was not in position when we were there.
We tried to anchor in front of the hotel but couldn't get the anchor to set in the rocky bottom. We resorted to rafting again in the crowded harbour.
