SISIMIUT
Centrally located on the West Coast of Greenland and home to almost 6,000 people the thriving town of Sisimiut blends a modern Arctic community vibe with strong connections to the past.
Fishing and dogsledding have built Sisimiut and locals take pride in their extensive backcountry and overland routes to Kangerlussuaq as much as they cruise the fjords and ride the winter mountain trails.
The town is an important cruise destination for both expedition vessels and medium sized cruise ships, linking Nuuk and Kangerlussuaq with the Disko Bay area and Ilulissat further north.
Through a series of texts and images below we have told a story of everyday life and history in Sisimiut.
