Narsarsuaq is a small airport town that is the gateway to South Greenland. Narsarsuaq is an ideal base for hiking.

You will find easy access to the Greenland Ice Sheet, Erik the Red’s historical Norse settlement, and other UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Narsarsuaq means ‘The Great Plains.’ So what was more natural to the Americans than to make a runway here when, in 1941, they were looking for places to have a stopover on their way to Europe during WWII? 

The Americans later left the area, so now the runway is the gateway to South Greenland. From here, there are flights to Copenhagen, Iceland, and Nuuk, and small helicopters transport you to the towns of South Greenland.
