It has only been a hundred years since the first
Europeans arrived in the inhabited districts in East Greenland.
Therefore the traditional Inuit culture
continuously plays an important role in the local communities. In East
Greenland the old traditions are being kept
alive: Original faith is still reflected in the art and handicrafts made
by local artists and drum dance is even now
performed. Tasiilaq - former Angmagssalik - is located 12 minutes
by helicopter away from Kulusuk. Like most other
towns in Greenland Tasiilaq is characterized by small, wooden,
colorful houses. Being the largest town in East
Greenland with approx. 1700 inhabitants Tasiilaq offers most of the
comforts that tourists desire.
