“Uummannaq” means “heart-shaped” in Kalaallisut (the Greenlandic language). Like many place names in Greenland, it gets this name from a physical characteristic of the area. In this case – the heart-shaped mountain that dominates the small island upon which it sits.
Wake up to a view of massive icebergs and the excited calls of Greenlandic sled dogs. Spend the day exploring the pristine wilderness of the Uummannaq Fjord with a local guide. Then, retire in the evening to watch the northern lights dance overhead or pull an all-nighter with the midnight sun.
