Sisimuit: Boat trip to Assaqutaq

In the 1960s and 1970s several Greenlandic settlements were abandoned for reasons of economic prosperity and moved to larger cities.  Assaqutaq, located at the foot of Sisimiut’s famous mountain, the Kællingehætten, is such a settlement.

Description

Today it is used as a summer camp for the local schools but for a short period in June, it becomes a vibrant hub of life when the inhabitants from Sisimiut gather to fish for the capelin, a small local fish. A short boat trip to Assaqutaq is followed by a leisurely walk through the village visiting the old fishing factory, the summer camp and the small church beautifully situated top of a hill.
