Nanortalik is a town in the Kujalleq municipality in southern Greenland. With 1,448 inhabitants in 2010, it is the tenth-largest town in the country. The name Nanortalik means 'place of polar bears' or 'place where the polar bears go' (from Kalaallisut: nanoq). Because of its location, this area was one of the first parts of Greenland settled, both by Inuit and by the Norse. Nanortalik was founded in 1770. In 1797, a permanent trading depot was set up in Nanortalik by traders from Julianehåb. Due to poor harbour facilities, the town moved in 1830 to a different location where it remains today. Of the old town remains only the scattered ruins of Sissarissoq. Nanortalik is located on a small island (also called Nanortalik) on the shores of Labrador Sea, roughly 100 km north of Uummannarsuaq, the southern tip of Greenland. The surrounding district extends from the island of Qeqertarsuaq near Alluitsup Paa down to Cape Farewell and the 60 km long Lindenow Fjord on the east coast. Nearby settlements are Narsarmijit (Frederiksdal), Alluitsup Paa (Sydprøven), Tasiusaq, Aappilattoq (Kujalleq), Ammassivik as well as the following settlements with no more than 20 inhabitants each: Saputit, Nalasut, Nuugaarsuk, Akuliaruseq, Qallimiut, Qorlortorsuaq, Alluitsoq, and the weather station Ikerasassuaq ... more on Wikipedia.The text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License; additional terms may apply.
