Uummannaq is a town in the Qaasuitsup municipality, in northwestern Greenland. With 1,282 inhabitants in 2013, it is the eleventh-largest town in Greenland, and is home to the country's most northerly ferry terminal. Founded in 1763 as Ûmañak, the town is a hunting and fishing base, with a canning factory and a marble quarry. In 1932 the Universal Greenland-Filmexpedition with director Arnold Fanck realized the film SOS Eisberg near Uummannaq.
Uummannaq is located 590 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle on Uummannaq Island located in the south-central arm of the Uummannaq Fjord. Uummannaq is also the general name given to the series of inlets north of the promontory at Niaqornat on the Nuussuaq Peninsula.
The island is also home to Uummannaq Mountain, rising very sharply to the height of 1170m. Climbing it requires technical skills.
Air Greenland operates helicopter services to Qaarsut Airport from Uummannaq Heliport. The neighbouring villages in the Uummannaq area are served by district cargo helicopters. In summer months, Royal Arctic Line operates its 'bygdeservice' with sailings by small ships to its neighbouring villages, including a service to Qaarsut.
A une centaine de milles au nord de la baie de Disko, le WHY et son équipage pénètrent dans la baie d'Uummannaq. Le bateau s'amarre au port du village, accroché au rocher en forme de coeur qui lui donne son nom. Les enfants y accueillent l'expédition avec curiosité. Au programme de l'étape : rencontres avec les Inuits, programme de physiologie hyperbare, et détente dans le décor époustouflant de la baie. Vous pouvez suivre l'expédition sur www.underthepole.com ou sur la page www.facebook.com/underthepole. A bientôt !
Filmen er optaget og redigeret i juli 2013 af Peer Fischer Holm på en 14-dages rejse langs Grønlands østkyst til Kap Alexander, der ligger lidt nord for Thule. Her var vi heldige at se isbjørne. Rejsen begyndte i Sønder Strømfjord, der på grønlandsk hedder Kangerlusuaq. Vi rejste med Albatros' krydstogtskib Sea Explorer, og var 105 deltagere og 3 guider. Både på turen opad mod nord og sydpå igen besøgte vi mange byer og små bygder. Bl. a. Sisimiut, Godhavn, Upernavik, Kullorsuaq, Thule, Siorapaluk, Qaanaaq, Aappilatoq, Uummannaq, Jakobshavn og Sarfannguit.

My latest adventure in Greenland brought me to the far north of the country, to the remote town of Uummannaq, a rocky island surrounded by sea ice in winter. This is not an easy place to get to, nor is it an easy place to live, but the people that do call it home hold true to ancient Inuit traditions of hunting and fishing. During my stay, I was lucky to catch the annual dogsled race, where over a dozen teams spent hours completing a course out on the frozen sea. I was especially touched by the kind people and the quiet of this faraway corner of Earth, so I wanted to put together this film to show some of what I experienced.

Galya Morrell's short documentary The Tale of Uummannaq, highlights a small isolated Greenlandic village in need of solutions in the times of climate and societal change. Uummannaq - a heart-shaped island in Northern Greenland - is referred by many as the "Heart of the Arctic." Today, like many other little settlements in the Far North, its culture is at risk of disappearing. The ancient ways of life that had survived for millennia are now disintegrating along with the disappearing ice. In the old days, the sea ice was the center of a healthy living community. Everything -- food, clothing, legends, and moral values -- came from the sea ice. Songs were composed and stories were told beside seals' breathing holes. Now, as the ice vanishes, people feel that they are rapidly losing the "grou...

Greenland Cruising 2016 - Travel by cruise ship to Greenland - Greenland Scenic Cruising (HD 1080p) When you've seen the world there's always Greenland' goes the old travellers' saying.

Vast swaths of beautiful, unfenced wilderness give adventurers unique freedom to wander at will, whether on foot, by ski or by dogsled. With virtually no roads, transportation is expensive, but splurging on helicopter and boat rides is worth every penny. These whisk you over truly magnificent mountainscapes and glaciers or through some of the planet's most spectacular fjords. Greenland also offers world-beating but charmingly uncommercialised opp...
It's the largest glacier in continental Europe: the Jostedalsbreen. Heidi Zimmermann is one of the few female mountain guides in Norway. She takes tens of thousands of tourists around the glacier each year, which is about 300 kilometers away from the city of Bergen. More Euromaxx: http://www.dw.de/program/euromaxx/s-7555-9798
Nothing is as astonishing as the Greenlandic inland ice cap. Crystal clear, vast and almost never ending. The white giants will almost certainly leave you speechless: http://www.greenland-travel.com/about_greenland/inland_ice_cap. Miles and miles of white stretches out across the land and leaves most spectators mesmerized. Do not miss out on the opportunity of a lifetime to see this phenomena.

Add milk and you're on your way to

Get your head back in the game
Mix the wet and dry
And stop when it is smooth
Now let it sit for 10 minutes
That's enough to go
Watch Adventure Time!
But don't relax quite yet
Lest ye forget the magic
So kill and skin a pig for

If you burn your mom's house down
But then again
Bacon Pancakes are worth the risk

To take it to the very next level
By making bacon by bakin bacon
Praying to the bacon gods

Place those bacon slices on top
Heat that oven up
And let that pig fat cook

The greatest parts of breakfast
Joined in harmony!
