About Thule

Qaanaaq in northern Greenland is one of the world's northernmost civilian settlements, pipped only by the Norwegian town of Longyearbyen and a few military bases. Getting here will be a challenge, as permits may be required for use of the nearby Thule Airbase, under US control. Qaanaaq is a modern Greenlandic town in Northern Greenland. It was formed in 1953 after the expansion of the American air base, Thule, moved residents of the town 100 miles north to Qaanaaq. Geographically, Qaanaaq is located very close to the North American continent. It is likely that the area around Qaanaaq served as an immigration route onto Greenland for thousands of years. The most recent group of immigrants arrived 130 years ago, from Baffin Island.
