Greenland Airports, Operates 13 Airports and 46 Helicopter Planes and a Map Showing Our Airports Locations Landing Sites in Greenland Our airports are ideal choices for smaller airplanes operation in the north Atlantic regions. On these Welcome to pages we are presenting information on our airport services dedicated to ferry companies and ferry pilots. It is a high priority for us to ensure good conditions for operators on the north Atlantic routes and we have during 2014 launched Greenland several new services to do so. For example, all our airports now accept all major credit cards (for instance Visa, MasterCard, JCB and American Express, now even without the use of pin code) and we offer free Internet access for a limited Airports period in all airports (not Wi-Fi). Attached are our Fees and Charges for the use of Airports and Heliports in Greenland 2015 for ferry Mittarfeqarfiit, Greenland Airports, operates 13 airports and 46 helicopter planes and a map showing our airports locations landing sites in Greenland.

  • Greenland 2019 West Greenland
    Greenland 2019 West Greenland Hunting in Greenland is the world’s largest island. Having a surface of 2.18 million, km² and only Greenland about 59,000 inhabitants it is one of the least densely populated regions in the world. The capital city is Nuuk, which has not more than 12,000 inhabitants. A large part of the country is always covered with ice, which can reach a thickness of 3,500m. About one sixth of the island is ice-free. Away from the coasts, the inland is dominated by inhospitable ice and cold deserts. Arctic climate prevails with maximum temperatures from 20 °C in the south to -5 °C in the north. In winter, lowest temperatures are around -50 °C. Hunting We are hunting in different areas winter and autumn, and in two different areas in autumn. areas: In winter, we hunt in a big area outside the concessions, its south of Kangerlussuaq, and is about 350.000 acres. Transport is easy with snowmobiles, so we can easily get around in the area. In autumn we have two concession areas (other outfitters cannot hunt there, but local hunters can go meat hunt in the areas). Both areas is unique, since area 9 is partially in the Inuit hunting World Heritage Site, and all of area 11 is in the World Heritage Site. Only our company and one other outfitter can offer hunts in this unique area where the Inuit started hunting 4000 thousand years ago, and where their old settlements and stone installation for driven hunts is still there.

  • OMG GLISTIN-A 2019 Campaign Field Report
    Oceans Melting Greenland (OMG) GLISTIN-A 2019 Campaign Field Report Global sea level rise will be one of the major environmental challenges of the 21st Century. Oceans Melting Greenland (OMG) will pave the way for improved estimates of sea level rise by addressing the question: To what extent are the oceans melting Greenland’s ice from below? Over a five-year campaign, OMG will observe changing water temperatures on the continental shelf surrounding Greenland, and how marine glaciers react to the presence of warm, salty Atlantic Water. The complicated geometry of the sea floor steers currents on the shelf and often determines whether Atlantic Water can reach into the long narrow fjords and interact with the coastal glaciers. Because knowledge of these pathways is a critical component of modeling the interaction between the oceans and ice sheet, OMG will facilitate improved measurements of the shape and depth of the sea floor in key regions as well. The surveys of Greenland’s ice sheet were conducted with the GLacier and Ice Surface Topography INterferometer (GLISTIN-A), which aims to produce high spatial resolution (25 m), high-precision (< 50 cm) height maps of Greenland’s coastal glaciers, at 10 to12-km wide swaths using Ka-Band (8.4 mm wavelength) single-pass interferometry. By measuring ice surface elevation changes over several years, volume changes of marine terminating glaciers can be inferred. The GLISTIN-A radar is mounted in a pod under a Gulfstream III airplane. Operating at Ka-Band enhances interferometric accuracy, reduces penetration into the top layers of snow and firn and limits signal attenuation in the atmosphere.

Print: Kailow Graphic A/S ISBN 978-87-7144-099-7 200.11.2016 BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES IN GREENLAND – PROJECT OVERVIEW 2016 / 2017 3 FOREWORD Today, the Arctic region is experiencing an unprecedented level of interdependence with a number of growing interrelated challenges to the local, regional and global order. At the local level the lives of ingenious people, who have inhabited the Arctic of thousands of years are experiencing increasing opportunities for unlocking the vast economic po- tential through natural resources, shipping and tourism but at the same time face major challenges to their traditional livelihoods and cultures. At the regional level, the Arctic states and other international actors are increasingly engaging in the region making it both a venue for cooperation and competition over economic and security interests. The dynamics at both of these levels are unfolding at the backdrop of major global devel- opments, where climate change is having a particularly strong impact on the vulnerable region. While the global temperature increase is allowing the Arctic new economic op- portunities through new Sea ways, tourism and access to resources, climate changes are both impacting the melting of permafrost and ice caps as well as being increased through feedback loops in the Arctic.

Focus Region: North Atlantic GREENLAND (Denmark) The Finance Committee of the Danish parliament has approved a deal under which the Danish State will buy shares for DKK 700 million in Kalaallit Airports International A/S, the local airport operator, for the construction of two new international airports in Nuuk and Ilulissat, and a regional airport in Qaqortoq on the southern tip of the island. The existing runways in the west of Greenland will be extended from 950 m to 2,220 m in Nuuk and from 845 m to 2,200 m in Ilulissat. The extension means that the airports will be able to take larger aircraft such as the Airbus A330 with up to 300 passengers. At all three airports, it will be necessary to blast away rocks to make space for the construction work. The rubble will be re-used as filler and surfacing material for the runways.

  • 2019 Greenland
    Arctic Circle Trail Expedition Proposal Carla Huynh Greenland: The Arctic Circle Trail EXPEDITION REPORT 1. Introduction We are a team of four Imperial College London undergraduate students who went on an expedition in West Greenland from 19th August to 10th September 2019. We hiked the Arctic Circle Trail and explored both Illulissat and Disko Island. The Arctic Circle Trail’s name origins from its position: 40km north of the Arctic Circle. The trail itself is 200km long, and we began our hike at the edge of the ice sheet, 40km East of Kangerlussuaq (before the beginning of the trail) and finished at its end, in the coastal city of Sisimiut. The hike took us 11 days, during which we were completely self-sufficient, carrying all our supplies for the length of the trail. We then took the overnight ferry north to the Ilulissat Icefjord on 31st August, where we explored the UNESCO World Heritage Site which lies north of the icefjord. On 6th September, two members of the expedition took the ferry across to Qeqertarsuaq, a small village on a volcanic island off the west coast of Greenland from where we explored the surrounding area for the last few days. To set the scene a little, Greenland has a country-wide population equivalent to that of Canterbury and is largely untouched, being 85% covered in ice. There are no roads outside of the small settlement in Kangerlussuaq and the city of Sisimiut, so the Arctic Circle Trail provided a true wilderness experience. The trail boasted beautiful landscapes and arctic wildlife, as well as the chance to walk on the one of the world’s only ice sheets that is accessible by foot.
