Assaqutaq, located at the foot of Sisimiut’s famous mountain, the Kællingehætten, is such a settlement. 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. However, the highlight has to be the passing Humpback whales, which can often be spotted.
