Nanortalik, located at the southernmost tip of Greenland, is a small town in the municipality of Kuujaarek, whose name means "land of the polar bears" in Greenlandic. One of Greenland's southernmost settlements, the town is situated among a rugged archipelago of fjords and icebergs, with a population of about 1,300, and is known for its Inuit heritage and spectacular polar scenery.
Nanotarlik is surrounded by steep peaks and glaciers, and is known as "Greenland's mountain town". In summer, the Midnight Sun phenomenon can be seen, and in winter, there is a chance to see the aurora borealis.

The town boasts Greenland's oldest wooden building (built in the 19th century), and the local museum showcases Sakak cultural relics and traditional kayaking crafts. The economy is based on fishing, especially for Arctic shrimp and cod, and tourism is on the rise with hiking, rock climbing and whale watching, making it an ideal destination for experiencing Aboriginal hunting culture and the polar wilderness.
