Experiences offered at Uummannaq Museum
Wegener became world-famous due to his theory of continental drift. His aim was to build a scientific station in the middle of the Ice Sheet.
The museum also houses copies of the clothing of the famous Qilaktisog mummies, which were discovered in the area in 1972. Today the original items of clothing can be found at Greenland’s National Museum in Nuuk.
