Qasigiannguit (Danish: Christianshåb) is a town located on the southeastern shore of Disko Bay, in the Qaasuitsup municipality in western Greenland. With 1,253 inhabitants as of 2010, it is the twelfth-largest town in Greenland. The main industry is shrimp and halibut fishing. Qasigiannguit was founded in 1734, and is home to Greenland's oldest wooden house. The former house of Paul Egede, was inaugurated on 25 July 1734, in the colony of Christianshåb. Because of the wind, the house was moved across the small bay to its present site during 1806. In 1997 the museum was officially opened in the Egede house. In the summer of 1999, an archaeological discovery provided the museum with a collection of finds from different prehistoric cultures. During winter Air Greenland operates winter-only air services from the town heliport to Ilulissat, Qeqertarsuaq on Disko Island and Aasiaat. During summer and autumn, when the waters of Disko Bay are navigable, communication between settlements is by sea only, serviced by Diskoline. The ferry links Qasigiannguit with Ilulissat, Aasiaat, Ikamiut, Akunnaaq, and Qeqertarsuaq ... more on Wikipedia.The text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License; additional terms may apply.
