Kangeq & Island of Hope

Visit the old, abandoned settlement Kangeq.

The settlement was active as an old Inuit migration route, and in 1854 it became a Danish Colony in Greenland.

The settlement was closed in 1960 due to centralization of Greenland.

The Island of Hope is where the danish and norwegian priest Hans Egede started his colonization. Today you can still see the ruins of his first house on the Island.

If you would like to experience a “ghost town”, then this boat tour is for you.
