Narsarsuaq

Narsarsuaq in southern Greenland is a small airstrip settlement situated at the head of a long fjord system in the Norse farming district of Narsaq. The area is historically important as the region settled by Erik the Red and subsequent Norse colonists beginning around 985 CE, and archaeological remains of farm buildings are scattered across the surrounding grassland valleys. The nearby Kiattuut Sermiat glacier is a short hike from the settlement and accessible for guided walks on the ice.
