From Reykjavik Airport it´s only a two hour flight to the village of Kulusuk. Angmagssalik is only a 10-minute helicopter ride from Kulusuk, but this short flight is one of the highlights of the tour as you cross the ice-filled sea separating these two villages.

Angmagssalik, is known to local residents as Tasiilaq that in East Greenlandic means something resembling a lake. Angmagssalik is the largest village in East Greenland with approximately 1,400 residents. The town has a picturesque setting in a fjord surrounded by high mountains and bisected by a small river that flows through the town.
The traditional Inuit culture still plays an important role in day-to-day life, as it is only, just over 100 years since the first Europeans came to this area.

The town of Angmagssalik boasts long hours of daylight in the summer and the splendor of the northern lights in the winter. During the summer, activities include hiking and climbing for people of all abilities, as well as helicopter trips to the ice sheet or glaciers.
