Email: discobay@icecaphotels.gl
The town is peacefully and attractively
located between almost
500-metre high mountains in the southeastern part of Disko Bay.
The climate is settled, with many hours of sunshine.
Qasigiannguit has approximately 1500
inhabitants, and in 1984,
the town celebrated its 250th anniversary. The colourful
houses and dogs on the slopes give the town its hunter
culture character, while the town's fishery is an example
of the influence of modern society.
In the 1950s rich prawn fields were
discovered in the sea
beyond the town, signalling the start of modern development
with the building of a huge prawn farm. A few years ago,
prawns were replaced by Greenland halibut, and a large
modern fishery was established in Spækholmen, west of
the town.
DiscoBay Hotel is beautifully located,
with views over Disko
Bay and the huge icebergs in the ice fjord. From the hotel
terrace you can spot whales between July and October.
The hotel has 15 modern double rooms, a
restaurant and cafe.
Facilities:
15 double rooms with bath and toilet
Restaurant
Cafeteria
Discotheque
Conference facilities
Terrace with sea views.
Cabins in beautiful natural surroundings
are available for
short or long-term hire. Prices depend on size and standard.
DiscoBay Hotel and Discobay Tourism
arrange fishing trips by
boat, seal hunts, shark fishing, botanical expeditions,
historical trips, hikes and kayaking displays, and hire out
canoes and snowmobiles with drivers. Long-term charter of
passenger boats can be arranged.
The hotel is owned by the Ice Cap Hotels
group, who run
hotels in Qasigiannguit, Ilulissat and Uummannaq.
Places to see around:
The museum comprises six buildings and an
exhibition of
objects and other items from the unique excavations on the
island of Qeqertasussuk which returned to Greenland during
the course of summer 2002, an event marked by the opening
of a permanent exhibitionat Qasigiannguit Museum. Thousands
of archaeological objects carefully packed into large,
lined wooden crates began the long sea journey from
Copenhagen to Qasigiannguit Museum in 1999.
The objects originate from the
excavations of the settlement
at Qeqertasussuk in the southeastern part of Disko Bay
undertaken from 1984-1987. With the help of specially
manufactured microwave scanners, a large group of
archaeologists, botanists, zoologists and geologists dug
carefully down through a 1000-year-old, deep-frozen cultural
layer, and were then able to give a detailed picture of life
in Greenland's earliest stone age Saqqaq culture from 2400
BC, using as a basis the many, fantastically well-preserved
items they unearthed. There were a huge number of incredibly
well-preserved tools, carved from wood, bone and antler,
which had lain frozen in the cool shadow from the adjacent
mountain. There were knives, scrapers and spearheads, which
have otherwise only been found as stone blades, but which
here were discovered with handles attached.
Along with well-preserved wooden bowls
and spoons, and
harpoon heads of antler and tooth, the culture appeared to
have tools and everyday goods which were, in many ways,
vastly different from those we already know from historical
times. Hundreds and thousands of bones from meals eaten by
the Saqqaq people were found in the midden. The inhabitants
of Qeqertasussuk, like most later tribes in this area of Disko
Bay, had lived primarily on Greenlandic seal and ringed seal.
Among the unusual midden finds there was also the northernmost discovery so
far of the now extinct Great Auk. This bird,
which could not fly, bred in Iceland and Newfoundland until
the nineteenth century, and the discovery of its bones at Qeqertasussuk, as
well as pollen analyses and surveys insect
remains in the earth layer, point to the fact that the climate
in the Saqqaq period was warmer than today.
Poul Egede's house
At the foot of a fertile slope lies Greenland's oldest wooden
house. Poul Egede, a missionary in the period 1736-1740, helped
to bring the house to the town on one of Jacob Severin's ships
in July 1734.
This is what he wrote:
"After the skipper and merchant had
found a suitable place to
establish a colony - and the rough-hewn buildings we had with
us on board, we sailed into harbour at Viire Bay with two
other ships.
The following day, we immediately began
to unload the timber
for building. Eight days later, a Sunday, I gave my first
sermon in this building, which was called Christianshåb."The
building has crossed corners, a design typical of the kind
of Norwegian log houses known as "laftehuse".
The building was moved to its current
location in 1806, when it
was re-erected next to the colonial government building for use
as a shop and provisions store, a function it maintained until
1990 when KNI opened a new department store in the town. It has
now undergone restoration and forms part of the town museum.
Paavia Church
The church is named after Poul Egede. It was erected in 1969
and was designed by the architect Ole Nielsen. The nave
symbolises an umiak, or "women's boat", while the altarpiece
is a glass mosaic, produced by Sven Havsteen-Mikkelsen. It is
decorated with a huge cross laid over a golden sun disc,
surrounded by 'inhabitants' of Greenland - a polar bear,
whales and fish, as well as a kayak and an umiak. Finally,
pagan spirits retreat from the light of Christianity.
Colonial Government Building
The colonial government building is a Danish manufactured
timber-framed building, roughly-hewn and test-assembled in
Copenhagen before being sent to Christianshåb. A famous wood
cut depicting an eighteenth century soldier sits above the
entrance. According to tradition, it was made by Poul Egede
and represents his brother, Niels Egede, who was colonial
governor from 1740-43.
Southeast Bay
Southeast Bay is a rich treasure trove of pre-historic traces.
Meat caches, hunting shelters, sites of buildings and kitchen
middens of earlier hunting cultures can be seen along the coast.
Throughout the millennia, Sydøst (Southeast) Bay has always been
a rich hunting area for seals and whales. Many settlements have
been excavated, and you can hear the echoes of history at the
museum, as well as out in the countryside.
Tina's House
Hunter family house from the 1950s and part of the museum.
Peat huts
The "Illunnguaq" peat hut is located on the plain near Flyver
Lake, north east of the town It offers an insight into the
everyday life of a Greenlandic family in the 1940s. Special
events are organised regularly here.
Walks
Qasigiannguit is an excellent hiking area with gentle hills,
tundra plains, green passes, blue fjords, mountain tops with
views over Isfjorden (Ice Fjord) and Disko Island all make the
area ideal for hiking. Hike descriptions and detailed information
can be found on the Internet at www.greenland.com or in the new
hiking guide Hiking South of the Ilulissat Icefjord Whales, seals,
sea birds Sea birds, seals and whales can all be found in the waters
around Qasigiannguit. Seals, which are by nature curious, often
make an appearance. From the middle of July right through to October,
whales come right up to the town, playing in front of the hotel
terrace.
Flora and fauna
The vegetation is lush and there are many beautiful flowers.
Foxes, hares, reindeer and musk oxen can be found in the hinterland
to the south.
Dog sleds
>From early winter right through to spring in May, Qasigiannguit,
with its gentle hills and extensive hinterland, offers a fantastic
terrain for sleds. You can either go hunting accompanied by an
experienced hunter, or simply enjoy the striking natural surroundings.
Pleasure fishing
Summer and winter bring exciting fishing opportunities to
Qasigiannguit. You can catch fantastic trout both outside the town
and in the trout streams at the entrances to the fjords.

This is the place for an aperitif or a drink, and during the day we

here.
Visiting Ilulissat is so unique that
you'll never forget. Nowhere
else on our planet will you find a beautiful town situated next to
an enormous glacier that virtually wraps the town in a constantly
hanging pattern of gigantic icebergs.
The glacier moves 20-30 meters per day.
And every few weeks a new
cluster of icebergs break loose. With sizes up to 100 meters above
surface - and 9 times as much below surface.
The huge icebergs can't just drift away.
Right outside Ilulissat the
sea depth is "only" 300 meters, and here they run aground - forming
the most impressive "sculpture park".
The town of Ilulissat, located 300
kilometers north of the Polar
Circle, is the main town in the Disko Bay area - and also regarded
the most beautiful. When staying in Hotel Hvide Falk the daily life
of this classic Inuit town is right outside the doorstep - the
fishermen, the hunters, small shops, the colored wooden houses and
some 7,000 sledge-dogs.
Ilulissat is the town of dog-sledging. As
a visitor you can
experience dog-sledge tours from just a few hours to several weeks.
Surf the pages of Ilulissat Tourist Service and Greenland Tours Elke
Meissner to learn about the possibilities. Or ask the staff at Hotel
Hvide Falk - we'll help you to choose the dog-sledge tour that fits
your wishes. Look forward to the experience of a lifetime!
If you want to experience even more of
Greenland we suggest that
you also visit Nuuk, our capital. We can arrange a tour that takes
you both to Ilulissat and to Nuuk where you'll stay in our assiciate
Hotel, the Hotel Hans Egede.
