Welcome to our Nuuk travel guide. Nuuk is the capital city of Greenland and both the cultural and administrative centre for the country. The name of the town means "Cape" in the Greenlandic language due to its location near the outlet for the enormous Nuup Kangerlua Fjord - the world's second-largest fjord system. An Introduction To Nuuk The Nuuk Fjord (Nuup Kangerlua) is the second-largest fjord system in the world and home to Greenland's capital city. It is located about 240km south of the Arctic Circle on the mid-west coast of Greenland and stretches for 160km inland towards the Great Greenland Ice Sheet. At its head lies the Nuuk Icefjord, and the Kangeq abandoned There are very few cities in the world where you can access pristine backcountry wilderness within 5 minutes of the city center.
