South part of Greenland

South Greenland is a region full of contrasts, known for its flowering plains and fertile valleys, ice-filled fjords, numerous glaciers and mineral-rich mountain landscapes.

The region has a well-developed farming industry with extensive grazing pastures for sheep and horses and some of the best-preserved Norse ruins.

Whether you are interested in Inuit or Norse history, ice or minerals of all types, hunting and fishing or just magnificent scenery, then South Greenland has it all.

Pure and unspoilt nature.

The towns of Narsaq, Qaqortoq, Nanortalik and the gateway of Narsarsuaq are particularly good starting points from which to experience the culture and nature of the region. However, the small sheep-holding stations and settlements such as Qassiarsuk, Igaliku and Alluitsup Paa are also popular tourist attractions.

Excursions and attractions in South Greenland offer something for everyone: Hiking, fishing, farm holidays, and visits to the ruins of Norse churches and farms, or more challenging experiences such as kayaking or climbing, to name but a few possibilities.

Dramatic glaciers

South Greenland's fjords are ideal for sailing, and at the base of the fjords you will often find many dramatic glaciers, which in some places can be experienced on foot.

Several of the glaciers are particularly productive, and therefore a lot of ice floes can be seen in South Greenland.





Experience the magnificent coastline from Narsarsuaq to Nuuk with Arctic Umiaq Line and the unrivalled natural beauty of Greenland with Blue Ice.
