Nanortalik

Greenland

Nanortalik is a town in southern Greenland, the country's southernmost settlement of note, on an island near Cape Farewell. Its name means the place of polar bears — though bears are rare visitors — and it is a center of Greenlandic culture and kayaking. Attractions include the open-air museum of colonial buildings, the surrounding peaks popular with climbers, the Tasermiut fjord's walls, the nearby Viking ruins, hot springs, and the wild southern Greenland landscape.
