Siorapaluk is the northernmost settlement in Greenland and one of the northernmost dwellings in the world. The settlement is located on the north side of Robertson Fiord, which cuts into the Hayes peninsula. There is good hunting in the area of the settlement, and the cliffs around it function as breeding grounds for dovekie (Alle alle) - also known as "auk" - and the thick-billed murre (Uria lomvia). There are many arctic foxes and arctic hares in the area and an abundance of seals and walruses which are hunted.
