Ilulissat

Ilulissat is a town of approximately 4,500 people on Greenland's west coast, set above the mouth of the Sermeq Kujalleq glacier fjord — designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site as the Ilulissat Icefjord. The fjord produces some of the fastest-moving and most prolific icebergs in the Northern Hemisphere, which calve from the glacier and drift out through a shallow moraine into Disko Bay. The wooden colonial townscape painted in primary colours contrasts sharply with the white and blue ice landscape below.
