Aappilattoq is a tiny Greenlandic settlement of about 100 people on the shores of Prince Christian Sound, near Greenland's southern tip in Kommune Kujalleq. Reachable only by sea or air, it is home to hunting and fishing families whose colourful houses sit on a granite peninsula beneath steep peaks. Expedition ships visit while transiting the sound, which winds past glaciers, waterfalls and drifting icebergs.
Home to about 100 people who live mainly from hunting and fishing, this tiny settlement sits on a small granite peninsula in Prince Christian Sound. Its brightly painted houses are scattered over the rock beneath a towering peak, and a little red church stands beside a white-fenced graveyard. Visits can include meeting residents, hearing the church choir and trying local food.
This roughly 100 km channel links the Labrador Sea with the Irminger Sea at Greenland's southern tip, winding between steep granite peaks, glaciers and waterfalls fed by the ice sheet. Icebergs drift through the sound, and seals rest on the ice, with whales sometimes seen. Most ships visit Aappilattoq while transiting the sound, which is free to enjoy from deck.
