Evening in Kangerlussuaq

The Village of Kangerlussuaq is quite small, but hosts the busiest airport in Greenland. I spent the evening walking around the town. See the photos below.


There are a number of small hotels for travelers to the area. The Hotel Tuttu is quite interesting.

Here are some residential buildings in town.





This is a view down the Fjord that Kangerglussuaq is located.





Here are some tiny wildflowers that were located along the upper bench of the the river.





This is a view of Kangerlussuaq at about 1030PM.

Arrivial at kangerlussuaq


We arrived in Kangerlussuaq on June 2. It was a super smooth flight on the 109th New York Air National Guard C-130. The flight was about 5.5 hours and was quite comfortable. Once we arrived our gear was organized and placed on pallets for the the flight to Summit Camp.
