Qeqertarsuaq (Danish: Godhavn) is a port and a town in Qaasuitsup municipality, located on the south coast of Qeqertarsuaq (Disko) Island, an island on the west coast of Greenland. Founded in 1773, it is home to a campus of the University of Copenhagen. Qeqertarsuaq is Greenlandic for: 'Large Island.' It is also the name of several other islands on Greenland in the same municipality, namely Qeqertarsuaq (Upernavik), or Qeqertarsuaq (Herbert Island). The total area of Disko Island and its satellite islands (mainly Qeqertarsuatsiaq Island 11 km or 7 mi northwest of off the northern coast, and Qeqertaq on the southwest coast, at the mouth of Disko Fjord) - is 9,700 km² (3,750 sq mi). In 2010, the town had 907 inhabitants. The remainder of the population of the island lives in the Kangerluk settlement. Many of the flat basaltic mountains found all over the island are covered with perpetual snow. The greatest area is called Sermersuaq (The Grand Glacier). Sermersuaq is situated rather far from the coast which is why it is difficult to reach in summer. Lyngmarksbræen (The Lyngmark Glacier) is a lot smaller than Sermersuaq, but is close to town and can be reached on a few hours' walk. The glacier covers almost 10 km. During winter Air Greenland operates winter-only air services from Qeqertarsuaq Heliport to Ilulissat, Qasigiannguit, 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 Qeqertarsuaq with Ilulissat, Aasiaat, Qasigiannguit, and Kitsissuarsuit ... more on Wikipedia.The text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License; additional terms may apply.
