Alluitsup Paa, Greenland
A visit to this cozy and exotic fishing village is almost like a visit to the Disko Bay! The local hunters are still bringing in seals to be sold at the local marked, whales are seen from the shore from mid July and gigantic icebergs are seen on the open sea. Hot Springs - from Alluitsup Paa you can choose to visit the only hot spring in Greenland, where it is possible to bath in the spring while watching the icebergs floating in the nearby fjord. SightsVillage Walk Alluisup Paa4 The cozy fishing village of Alluitsup Paa is different to most other towns and villages in South Greenland - in many ways it reminds about villages in the Disko Bay Area.
