Ilulissat Icefjord

Ilulissat Icefjord Essentials

This UNESCO World Heritage site centers on the Sermeq Kujalleq glacier, one of the most productive glaciers in the Northern Hemisphere. The fjord is filled with massive icebergs that ground at its mouth near Disko Bay. Beyond the ice, the area preserves 4,000 years of Arctic history at the Sermermiut archaeological site and features cultural landmarks like the 18th-century Zion's Church. Well-marked coastal trails connect these historical ruins with elevated viewpoints overlooking the ice-choked waters.
