Nuuk / Godthåb (Greenland)
|
|
|
|
|
Greenland's capital city Nuuk is the centre of life in this country - it is the centre for trade, shipping, industry and the administration. With a population of 13,500, Nuuk is the largest city not only in Greenland, but in the whole Arctic region. Over the last 30 years, Nuuk has undergone considerable modern development.

Sisimiut / Holsteinborg (Greenland)
|
|
|
|
|
With a population of 5,000, Sisimiut is the second-largest town in Greenland. The Greenlandic name, Sisimiut, means "foxhole inhabitant". The town has the most northerly port that remains ice-free all year. Accordingly, the fishing industry and the export of prawns are booming. The town is proud to be home to the most modern shrimp factory in the world. Sisimiut is also the first settlement North of the Arctic Circle where the Inuit kept sled dogs for use in the Winter. The museum and the old town with the oldest wooden church in Greenland, which dates from 1775, are particularly worth seeing.

Ilulissat / Jakobshavn (Greenland)
|
|
|
|
|
Jakobshavn - or Ilulissat as it is called in Greenlandic - lies at 68 degrees North latitude and 51 degrees West longitude, around 290 kilometres North of Arctic Circle in the Disko bay on the West coast of Greenland. The town has a population of around 4,300; the number of dogs here is far greater - 6,000 in total, and all of them sled dogs. There are hardly any cars, and the few cars here are mainly taxis that travel the small number of roads - but not for any great distance, since the metalled roads end just behind the last houses. The dog sleds have right of way during the winter months in any case. A mere two kilometres behind the last houses of Ilulissat, a huge glacier constantly pushes new icebergs into Disko bay. It is these ephemeral creations that gave the burgeoning small town its name:
Ilulissat means "Cliffs of Ice".

Nome (Alaska, USA)
|
|
|
|
|
The city by the Bering Sea is famous for two things: first, in the context of the Gold Rush with many relicts from that time bearing silent witness to the era. One very interesting destination is the Inuit village of Teller, where many artefacts dating from the time of the Gold Rush have been preserved. Second, Nome has gained importance in connection with the famous sled-dog race "Iditarod", since it is here that the winner crosses the finishing line with his team of dogs, following around nine or ten days racing. As soon as the winner draws near to the finishing line, a bell rings and all of the town's residents rush out to greet the victor. More than 50 teams of dogs from all over the world take part in the race from Anchorage to Nome.
