About Kangerlussuaq
Kangerlussuaq is a small town in western Greenland. It's at the eastern end of a deep fjord. The town is known for its airport, which is Greenland's major international transport hub. The airport's Kangerlussuaq Museum illustrates the town's past as a U. S. airbase during WWII. A road runs northeast from town to the vast Greenland Ice Sheet. Here, Russell Glacier is a vantage point for ice-calving events.
