QOORNOQ – Where Silence Speaks
Join us on a trip deep into the Nuuk Fjord, where ancient mountains stand like silent guards and the sea whispers forgotten tales. We will visit Qoornoq, a settlement both abandoned and alive.
Once home to hunters, fishermen, and families, Qoornoq is now quiet, its colorful houses are frozen in time along the mountainside. Since the 1970s, it has been uninhabited year-round but never forgotten, it just found a new rhythm.
In summer, life returns as people from Nuuk turn the old houses into summer retreats, a place for peace, reflection, and children's play. No roads. No shops. Just weathered wood, the wind in your hair, and the scent of the fjord.
We sail past a waterfall cascading down the mountainside. In summer, there are good chances of spotting whales in the fjord. If you’re feeling adventurous, we’ll stop for a dip in the cold, clear waters — so don’t forget your swimwear!
