Six hours to the only villagedeep in Nuuk Fjord

Kapisillit is the only permanent settlement inside Nuuk Fjord, a small community of around 40

people whose lives are still shaped by the fishing grounds and hunting routes around them.

‍

The boat ride out is two hours of dramatic mountain coastline, ice, and quiet water, with the

kind of light that turns the fjord into something postcards never quite capture.

‍

The name "Kapisillit" means "salmon" in Greenlandic, a reference to the river that runs into the

bay and to the few Atlantic salmon populations in Greenland. The village, the river, and the fish

share the name.

‍

The journey home retraces the same coastline in shifted light. By the time Nuuk's harbour

comes back into view, you've experienced something most travellers never will.
