Qoornoq is the most photogenic ghost in Nuuk Fjord, an abandoned fishing settlement on a small peninsula, with colourful houses still standing where families once lived year-round.
The village emptied in the 1970s when the fishing economy shifted and Greenland's settlement policy consolidated population in the larger towns.
The boat ride out is two hours of dramatic mountain coastline, granite cliffs, drifting bergs, the wide quiet of the inner fjord. Once ashore, you have around an hour and a half to walk the village, photograph the old fish factory, and absorb the quiet.

Our local guides offer a deep insight into the lives of the small settlements, sharing memories of summers spent here and stories from across the fjord.


Our Targa boats offer a scenic ride with a spacious deck, ideal for photography and built around safety for the whole family.

Qoornoq grew around fishing, with a small fish plant that gave the settlement its work. When the catches fell away and Greenland moved people into the larger towns through the 1960s and 70s, the year-round community left.
The houses were never torn down, though. Some of the same families come back each summer, so the village empties and refills with the seasons rather than fading for good.

Winter temperatures in Nuuk typically range from -5°C to -15°C, though the wind can make it feel colder. To stay warm, we recommend dressing in layers, wearing insulated boots, and using hand and foot warmers. Our boats have heated cabins, and warm drinks are provided on excursions, so you’ll always have a place to warm up when needed.
What makes this icefjord special is its seclusion and untouched beauty. Unlike the more well-known Ilulissat Icefjord, which sees frequent boat traffic, this bay is remote, with almost no visitors. This means you can experience the silence of the Arctic, undisturbed by crowds. The contrast between the rugged tundra and the ever-changing ice formations makes this a truly unique and immersive Arctic experience you will remember always.
Summer in Nuuk is when Greenland is at its most vibrant. The fjords are ice-filled, allowing for stunning explorations by boat, and the long daylight hours provide more time for adventure. Wildlife is also at its peak, with humpback whales returning to the fjords and Arctic flora in full bloom. It’s the season where Greenland’s raw beauty is most accessible, making it the perfect time to experience everything from hiking and paddleboarding to cultural experiences.
Winter in Nuuk is a time of pure Arctic magic. The fjords are covered in white, the mountains are covered in snow, and the crisp, cold air makes the scenery feel even more dramatic. The northern lights dance across the sky on dark, clear nights, and the long winter shadows create a surreal atmosphere. Whether you’re sailing through icy waters, relaxing in an Arctic sauna, or experiencing traditional Greenlandic culture, winter offers a more peaceful and immersive experience than any other season.
