Basalt columns on Greenland's volcanic coast
Information about Kuannit
Kuannit is a coastal nature area near Qeqertarsuaq where sculpted basalt columns reveal Disko Island's volcanic origins. Dark rock, open water and green summer vegetation create a striking contrast along the shore.
The columnar basalt is the defining feature, while Angelica and other vegetation can make the landscape feel unexpectedly lush. Walking routes, terrain, weather and the precise landing point vary, so the expedition team determines whether and how the area can be visited safely.
