Nanortalik, Greenland


Fall in love with the colorful charm of this remote outpost, which perches near the mouth of the spectacular Tasermiut Fjord and was founded in the late 18th century by Scandinavian settlers on land long inhabited by Inuit hunters and fishermen. The Nanotarlik Museum provides insight into the area’s history, with fascinating exhibits ranging from traditional Viking attire and the world’s oldest sealskin boat to the tale of a mysterious 1959 shipwreck. Beyond the quaint town, a rugged landscape of soaring mountains, winding fjords and tundra-sheathed valleys invites exploration. After a day of discovery, find tranquility at the Uunartoq Hot Springs, where geothermically heated water will soothe your muscles while icebergs glide past.
