Good Arctic Eats – Uummannaq
The population of Uumannaq is 1,407 when you are not there and 1,408 when you are.
The most exhilarating tour is the Living in Nature as An Inuit. You’ll be hunting and fishing just an Inuit would. It’s a seven-day adventure where you get from place by dogsled. It also costs for $4,050, but it really is a once in a lifetime experience. Heads up, it’s not wheel chair accessible.
But fear not. There’s a four-wheel drive excursion. and can take your pick of tours that cruise the harbor and the neighboring fjords.
For those who need to flee the crowd of the town, for those who wish to catch their own meal, but want to stay close to home, I certainly recommend an ice-fishing tour. Sure, you could do it yourself, but do you really want to take your all your gear and your ice-fishing hut from Miami? Then you’d have to get all that out onto the ice. Yes, take the tour. You’ll be glad you did. And boy, oh boy, won’t your fresh fish taste good?
Dog sledding, ice fishing, cruises, super fresh fish, what more do you want? And Northern lights? Uummannaq has that too, usually, at least sometimes.
As always, “Good eating. Good traveling.”

It’s the “arctic” part that puts me off.
Would you believe Greenland is in the Pacific Ocean? Near Hawaii?
