What is that – culture?
And where is it?
Is it in the heart and soul of the people who walked onto this icy island 4,500 years ago?
Is it in the ruins and trails that tell the story of our ancestors?
Or does culture magically live within the sounds of dogsled runners as they glide over fresh snow?
Wherever you go, the cultural history of Destination Arctic Circle shines through, and everyday life is the door to a living culture that embraces our nomadic hunting past and mixes it with the present Arctic world.

Sightseeing in Kangerlussuaq
Kangerlussuaq is a former US air base with a history like nowhere else in Greenland, and this sightseeing tour offers a chance to get acquainted with the fascinating history of the area.
Local culture always brings up the unexpected, the real, the little surprises, and the memorable moments. Kangaamiut is famous for art and craft, and the entrepreneurial people of the settlement have even built a museum to document life and village history here. Sisimiut is strong on its colonial history and the mix with modern urban life lends the town the air of an Arctic city, while further south Maniitsoq is a community with a deep connection to whales. Kangerlussuaq is out of the ordinary with its roots in the now defunct American air base and the millenia old backcountry hunting grounds, while Sarfannguit and Itilleq are quaint little coastal villages where everyday life in Greenland is forever culture and history in the making.
