Sermilik

Sermilik is a large fjord in eastern Greenland, located in the Sermersooq municipality. It is one of Greenland's longest and most extensive fjords, stretching for approximately 120 kilometers. The fjord is renowned for its dramatic glacial landscapes, with icebergs frequently calving from the outlet glaciers that feed into it. The waters of Sermilik are a significant part of the Sermilik Ice Sheet's drainage system.

The fjord is a vital habitat for marine life, including various species of seals and whales. It is also an area of historical significance for the Inuit people, who have inhabited the region for centuries and relied on its resources for survival. Archaeological findings in the vicinity provide insights into the past lives of these communities.

Despite its remote location, Sermilik is a destination for scientific research, particularly concerning glaciology and climate change. The dynamics of its glaciers and the impact of warming temperatures on the fjord's ecosystem are subjects of ongoing study. Tourist expeditions occasionally visit Sermilik to witness its majestic ice formations and pristine wilderness, though access is challenging due to the presence of icebergs and remote location.
