Narsarsuaq, Greenland

Narsaruaq is located in one of the many fjords off the Davis Straits on the southeastern coast of Greenland. The waters surrounding this area are rich with seals and salmon, Arctic char and small whales. Most of the island is covered with ice, however Narsarsuaq has lush, green vegetation with over 240 species of flowers and plants living here, including rare orchids.

There is a booming tourism industry in and around Narsarsuaq, whose attractions include a great diversity of wildlife, gemstones, tours to glaciers, and an airfield museum. Across the fjord in Brattahlíð are the traces of the early Norse settlement and a replica of the first Christian church on the American continent.
