East Greenland

Discover the cities, towns and settlements you can visit on a cruise around Greenland

Few places inspire the imagination to wander as far and wide as the great expanses of North East Greenland where the tiny community of Ittoqqortoormiit serves as a gateway to the world’s largest national park.

Drifting sea ice, abundant wildlife, rugged mountains, and abandoned hunting stations are the hallmark of one of the most isolated regions on the planet and very few people venture into this region every year.

Constable Point

A small isolated airfield 24 miles west of the small town Ittoqqortoormiit. It was built in 1985 by oil company ARCO, as a part of their oil exploration activities in the area, but was sold to Greenland in 1990. About 15 employees of the airport live close to the airport, which also has a small harbour. There is an Air Greenland AS350 helicopter permanently stationed at the airport, that also takes care of passenger transport to and from Ittoqqortoormiit.
