Culture

What languages are spoken in East Greenland?

East Greenland is a multi-lingual community. The official language is East Greenlandic, Tunumiisut, which is primarily spoken in the region. It’s important to note that the dialect in Ittoqqortoormiit differs from the one spoken in the Ammassalik area. As East Greenlandic is a spoken language only, the official national Greenlandic language, Kalaallisut, is widely understood by the population. All official documents, TV broadcasts, and news are in Kalaallisut. In addition, many people in East Greenland also speak Danish, as it is the second official language of the country. English is commonly understood, particularly in the tourism industry.

All
Health

What about medical care in East Greenland?

In East Greenland, the biggest towns – Tasiilaq and Ittoqqortoormiit – have a hospital/health care center, while all other settlements in the region only have a nursing station. These facilities provide a limited range of service and treatments. Individuals with more severe medical conditions have to go to the national hospital in Nuuk or to specialized hospitals in Denmark. Therefore, the Greenlandic health authorities strongly recommend obtaining comprehensive travel health insurance that covers various aspects of healthcare needs, including sudden onset of illnesses, hospitalization, therapy, medication, dental care, and medical evacuation, including ambulance transportation from remote or isolated areas in Greenland. Additionally, it is advisable for travellers to bring their own regularly prescribed medications since specific products may not always be readily available. Below you can find the rules governing health care provision for temporary residents, which is defined as people staying in Greenland for six months or less for study or vacation.

Read about health care provisions here.

Are there any pharmacies in East Greenland?

The only pharmacies in East Greenland are located at the hospital Tasiilaq and Ittoqqortoormiit, where you only get medicine based on a medical prescription after seeing a doctor. Common over-the-counter (OTC) medications, such as pills for headaches and coughing (paracetamol, ibuprophen or strepsils) can be found at the checkout counters of the local supermarkets. Visitors are advised to bring their own medications in sufficient quantities for the duration of their stay.

Infrastructure

How do I book the Service House in the settlements?

In the settlements of Kuummiut, Tiilerilaaq, Isertoq, and Sermiligaaq in the Ammassalik region, one can book a simple bunk bed for an overnight stay at the Service House, which is also one of the few places in the settlement that provides running water, showers, and flushing toilets. The overnight stay at the Service House must be booked directly with the Service House during their opening hours, which are Monday through Friday, 08:00-15:30. You need cash in Danish Kroner (DKK) for payment for the overnight stay as well as usage of shower or laundry facilities.

How do I stay connected in East Greenland?

Satellite internet connection is provided in some accommodations or the tourist office for free.

What is the story behind the colourful houses in East Greenland?

The tradition of colouring houses in East Greenland began with the introduction of the first wooden houses. Given that East Greenlandic is solely a spoken language, in the initial colonial period, most Greenlanders were not able to read Danish written language, with the colours primarily functioning as practical signage in the established settlements. A red building indicated a store, yellow denoted a hospital, and a blue structure marked the local fish factory. While many buildings now use colours for decorative purposes, some still uphold this historic tradition.

Red: churches and stores, including the houses where the priest or shop owner lived. The most commonly used color.
Yellow: hospitals, including the houses where the doctors or nurses lived
Green: radio communications, or later, telecommunications buildings in general.
Black: police
Blue: factories, fish plants

What is the highest mountain in East Greenland?

The Mount Gunnbjørn in East Greenland is the highest point in Greenland. The summit is 3,694 m above sea level. Situated approximately 60 kilometers inland from the Blosseville Coast, the Watkins Range can be found in King Christian IX Land, characterized by a cluster of nunataks enveloped by expansive, dynamic glaciers. This range boasts imposing ice-clad peaks and rugged cliffs, with the principal summit being Gunnbjørn Fjeld, holding the distinction of being the loftiest peak within the Arctic. It is also the highest peak located north of the Arctic Circle. Accessing this region is primarily achieved through ski-equipped airplanes departing from Iceland, and it ranks among the most frequently explored mountainous regions in Greenland, necessitating the acquisition of an expedition permit for entry.

Can I meet the sled dogs in East Greenland?

You should never touch a sled dog without the owner’s permission, as they are most familiar with their animals and their behaviour. If you come across puppies, dogs under 6 months of age, roaming the streets and they approach you, it’s usually okay to pet them. However, never approach any puppy near its mother, as she will be very protective of her young. Always be respectful of the dogs and follow the owner’s guidance for safety. Read about sled dogs in East Greenland here.

How likely is it that I will encounter a polar bear in East Greenland?

Ittoqqortoormiit, as well as the Ammassalik region, are active polar bear territories, where polar bears are present year-round. While they travel with the sea ice from the North along the East coast, they also inhabit areas close to the ice cap. When it comes to polar bear encounters in East Greenland, caution and preparation are essential. The risk for spontaneous polar bear encounters increases when venturing outside the inhabited areas, particularly in remote, icy regions where phone and internet signals may be unavailable, and rescue support is difficult to access on short notice. To ensure your safety, it’s crucial to stay informed about any recent sightings, carry appropriate safety equipment, and, most importantly, we highly recommend travelling with an experienced local guide familiar with handling potential encounters. In any case, always inform someone of your hiking or trekking plans before heading out and take the necessary precautions when exploring these stunning but challenging landscapes. In order to witness polar bears in their natural habitat in East Greenland, we recommend booking a polar bear sightseeing experience with one of the licensed operators.

You can read more about polar bears in East Greenland here.

What wildlife can I expect in East Greenland?

In East Greenland, you can expect to encounter a diverse array of wildlife, including polar bears, Arctic foxes, seals, whales and various bird species, making it a paradise for nature enthusiasts and wildlife photographers. The region’s pristine and remote landscapes offer unique opportunities for wildlife observation and appreciation. Read about Wildlife in East Greenland here.

Can I see polar bears in East Greenland?

If you would like to see a polar bear, we recommend you to choose a polar bear experience in either the Ammassalik or Ittoqqortoormiit area, where you have the best chance to encounter a polar bear in their natural habitat while prioritising safety for yourself and the wildlife. Remember to bring your zoom lens for such a trip, as you need to be 200m away from the animal at all times while on a polar bear sightseeing tour, according to the law of protected animals and polar bear sightseeing with license. Also binoculars are key on such an adventure.

Can I fish in East Greenland?

A fishing license is required in order to fish. The license can easily be bought online in advance for the desired date or period. The fishing license provide the holder the right to fish with a rod or hand line. You are only allowed to fish as much as you can consume.

Trip Planning

Should I book activities in advance or on arrival?

Both are possible and depend on the type of adventure you are looking for in East Greenland. There are tours, especially the special interest tours as heliskiing, dog sledding expeditions, kajak expeditions, polar bear expeditions and guided photo tours that you always need to buy in advance, as they are offered as a packaged adventure. If you are travelling individually but still have activities you don’t want to miss out on, we do recommend booking your most desired experience upfront or at least being informed about availability during your desired trip dates, to ensure that you are not missing out on your favourite adventure. If you are more flexible about the activities, as well as some other highly weather-dependent activities, you can always find activities you can book on the spot in accordance with the conditions.

How far in advance do you recommend booking a trip to East Greenland?

We highly recommend to book your adventure as soon as you have made your decision about travelling to East Greenland. Given that there is limited weekly flight capacity and selected accommodation options, the earlier you book the more choices you have, as both main seasons for winter and summer are very popular. The closer we get to the desired travel date, the more flexibility is required to plan your adventure.

Do I need to bring cash on my trip to East Greenland?

Card payments, including international credit cards, are accepted in the supermarkets, also in the small settlements. However, other places such as the artist workshop, service house or or other places for souvenirs do not accept card payments or foreign cash. Therefore, it is advisable to bring cash in Danish Kroner for your trip to East Greenland, as the options to retrieve cash in Danish Kroner while in East Greenland are limited. The only place with an ATM is in Tasiilaq. The local bank, located at the supermarket, only serves its clients, who have an account at the bank.

Which currency is used in Greenland?

The official currency used in Greenland is the Danish Krone (DKK). It is often referred to as kroner or kr.

Do I need insurance when travelling to East Greenland?

It is highly recommended to obtain the appropriate travel insurance that matches the type of adventure you are embarking on when visiting East Greenland. Consult your local travel agent for insurance advice that matches your planned trip. The Greenlandic health authorities strongly recommend obtaining comprehensive travel health insurance that covers various aspects of healthcare needs, including sudden onset of illnesses, hospitalization, therapy, medication, dental care, and medical evacuation, including ambulance transportation from remote or isolated areas in Greenland.

When can I see the Northern Lights in East Greenland?

In East Greenland, the Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, paints the Arctic skies with its ethereal and mesmerizing display. This remote and pristine region offers a unique backdrop for witnessing this natural phenomenon. The beautiful mountain ranges set a perfect location for shooting Northern Lights. You can witness the northern lights from September, if you’re fortunate, all the way through April. During September, they become a captivating part of your fall adventure in the region. For the ultimate winter experience and the best chances to enjoy the mesmerizing Northern Lights, the prime period to visit is from mid-February to April.

There are also limited helicopter services provided by Air Greenland connecting certain towns and settlements. Due to the region’s rugged terrain and lack of roads between communities, there are no car routes for inter-town travel. It’s essential to plan your journey in advance, taking into consideration the seasonal changes and available transportation options. Always consult with local tour operators or the community’s information center for the most current travel advice and arrangements.

How do I get around in East Greenland?

To navigate East Greenland, you can utilize different transportation options depending on the season. During the summer, consider using boats as the go to for accessing different settlements, fjords and popular tourist spots and hidden gems.

Safety

What should I do if I hear sound of a siren in Tasiilaq?

For safety and security reasons the disaster alarm system is tested once a week in Tasiilaq. Every Wednesday at 12:00 o’clock the local fire station tests their sirenes across town. This test alarm last around 30 seconds and consists of one long sound. In case of emergency, if the sirene should be used by the police, fire station or alike to warn people, the signaling sound would be different and can easily be identified. You might also find that the disaster alarm system is tested in Ittoqqortoormiit occasionally on Wednesday 12:00.

What are the gun regulations in Greenland?

The gun laws in Greenland allow tourists to buy, borrow or rent a rifle in Greenland. However, automatic & semi-automatic firearms, as well as handguns, are not allowed to be used by tourists. In order to bring a personal firearm into or out of the country, you need to acquire the necessary permits. If you intend to carry a rifle, make sure you are knowledgeable about gun safety. Read about the gun regulations in Greenland here.

How do I prepare for a potential polar bear encounter?

The goal should be never place yourself in a scenario where you or the polar bear are in danger, but you must be ready in case one does. This requires packing a powerful enough weapon, when travelling outside of Greenlandic towns or settlements, in areas with polar bear activity. The strongest defense against polar bears is a powerful rifle (caliber 308 Win or 30-06 or more powerful). Before venturing out, learn how to handle it safely both when it’s not being used and when you’re under pressure and need to shoot to hit.

Safety Information

Stay safe during your adventure. Learn about the guidelines for travelling in East Greenland.

Traveling in East Greenland is an awe-inspiring experience, but the rugged Arctic environment demands a heightened sense of caution. As you embark on your journey across this vast, untamed landscape, familiarizing yourself with essential safety information is paramount.

First and foremost, always inform your accommodation or local provider about your travel plans for the day, especially if you’re venturing into remote areas. They can give advise about your plans for the day and give recommendations. East Greenland’s weather is unpredictable, and storms can roll in suddenly, making it crucial to check local forecasts before any outing.

Wildlife encounters, especially with polar bears, are rare but not impossible. Always maintain a safe distance, and never approach or feed wild animals. If hiking or camping in remote areas, it’s recommended to carry polar bear deterrents or travel with local guides familiar with the terrain and its potential hazards.

The terrain in East Greenland can be challenging, with its glacial crevasses and swift rivers. It’s advisable to wear sturdy footwear, preferably with ankle support, even crampons and additional climbing equipment, when neccesary. Our recommendation is to always use marked trails where available. When exploring glaciers or undertaking mountain treks, hiring a local guide is highly recommended.

Sea travel has its own set of challenges. Icebergs, while majestic, can be unstable and pose risks. Always respect safety guidelines if you’re kayaking or boating near these ice giants. Ensure your vessel is equipped with communication devices, especially if sailing in remote fjords.

Lastly, while East Greenland is a haven of natural beauty, it’s essential to be prepared for its unpredictable nature. Carry a basic first aid kit, ensure your communication devices are charged, and always let someone know your plans. Embrace the beauty of East Greenland, but always prioritize your safety and well-being.
