Uummannaq is a city in Midwest Greenland.

It is situated on a heartshaped island, hence its name, heartlike place.

Getting there

Airgreenland flies from Ilulissat and Qaanaaq to the nearby airport at Qaarsut. From there a helicopter will take you to the heliport in Uummannaq. There has been talk of instead flying with helicopters directly from Ilulissat.

Traveling around

The city can be experienced on foot. The surrounding region can in the summer be visited by boat, and in winter by dogsled or snowmobile.

See

Santa Claus' summer house is located quite a walk from the city.
