Paamuit, Greenland

 

8/16/25  Saturday Paamuit, Greenland 41-46 degrees.  $ = Danish Kroner  (Tender port)

Excursion Walking Tour Paamiut FRD 001 $109. 10-11:30 Stroll the streets of tiny Paamiut with a local who knows its story and residents personally.

•                Keep an eye out for exciting wildlife—like majestic sea eagles soaring above or whales surfacing in the fjord.

Escorted around town by a local, you’ll be introduced to life in Greenland’s eighth-largest fishing village. Suffice it to say, rush hour is no big challenge in this burg. But living in Paamiut has its rewards for the 1,500-or-so souls who call it home. Their scattered skyline is colorful, their blue-black mountain backdrop is stunning – they even have a handsome stave church, one hotel and a supermarket. The fishing is excellent, the mitten-makers are busy, and the wildlife is contented. Minke and humpback whales swim by in the fjord, while white-tailed sea eagles (Greenlanders call them “Nattoralik”) guard the sky and bring good luck to those who spot them.

 

It is a short distance to town.  8th largest fishing industry.  Stunning mountains.  Animals include white tailed eagles, minke, fin, killer, and humpback whales.  A wooden stave church was built in 1909.
