Sermermiut Eskimo Settlement

Different Inuit groups have inhabited Sermermiut for over 4,000 years. Sermermiut is the best location for a settlement in the harsh and merciless nature of Greenland because of the abundance of wildlife in the area and the fact that the entire area is protected by enormous hills.

This ancient Eskimo community, which was initially discovered at the beginning of the 20th century, is located about two kilometers from the town of Ilulissat and has some of the best-preserved examples of indigenous Eskimo cultures in the Arctic. Even though the old settlement has been abandoned, you may still see remnants of its 2,000+-year-old inhabitants. It takes around an hour to walk from Sermermiut. To reach the Icefjord, continue traveling south on the boardwalk for a further 1.2 kilometers after leaving Ilulissat's town center. The Ilulissat Museum features artifacts discovered at the site.
