Information about Itilleq

Itilleq is a small Greenlandic settlement on an island at the mouth of a fjord, near the Arctic Circle. Homes, a working harbor, rocky shoreline and mountains meet at a scale that makes the community's setting immediately clear.

Fishing and hunting heritage form part of local history, while the village is also a contemporary home. Expedition visits should be approached respectfully: water access, landing, time ashore and any community interaction depend on weather, sea conditions, local permissions and the operator's decisions.
