Qaqortoq, Greenland is a small town that is a “repository of Viking, Inuit, and Danish history.” It’s one of the largest and best preserved Viking settlements and was established by Erik the Red’s uncle in the 10th century. Soon after, the Inuit’s arrived and fortunately left behind many artifacts from their early years. The historic buildings reflect the Danish colonial period including an 1804 blacksmith shop and a black tar log building from 1797.
The excursion we took was with locals in their boats for an Iceberg Safari! We sped quickly out to view three very large icebergs. Two were from Greenland and one came from the North Pole! Some of the occupants in our small boat sampled some iceberg pieces. Justin and I did not. Highly recommend this excursion for a very close up view of these beautiful icebergs and getting to know the locals.
Happy and safe travels to all!
