Just a few miles outside the town, there is the impressive Icefjord, where many huge icebers released from one of the most productive glacier of the world, are searching for a way to the open sea. Some iceberg is big like an hill. |

This is the historical site of the old town. Above, a beautiful iceberg on a beach and a view toward Icefjord. |
