Kitsissuarsuit is a remote settlement in western Greenland, home to a close-knit community of approximately 50 residents who remain self-sufficient through the region's marine resources.

The area is celebrated for its diverse birdlife and a dramatic backdrop of icebergs. Visitors can observe local hunting and fishing practices that have sustained the town for centuries.
