Aasiaat – the “land of a thousand islands” and almost as many whales receives fewer human visitors than many of the smaller Disko Bay settlements. This is despite Aasiaat being Greenland’s 5th largest town and home to unexpected galleries of famous and not-so-famous artworks.
The heart of an archipelago of low-lying islands, what Aasiaat lacks in vertical height, it makes up for with its enormous coastline. Intricate waterways that freeze over during winter shelter both summer and winter whales and become mazes to explore by boat, kayak or dog sled. While Greenlandic sled dogs howl for snow and ice amongst Aasiaat’s vibrantly coloured houses.
