Kangerlussuaq is a small settlement in central-west Greenland at the head of a long fjord, best known as the main international air hub for Greenland. The surrounding tundra and glacier landscape provides exceptional conditions for observing musk ox and caribou, and the inland ice sheet is accessible from the settlement in a short drive or hike. The dry Arctic climate here, sheltered from coastal moisture, produces some of the clearest skies in Greenland for aurora watching.
