otiitissa

Otiitissa, also known as Otiitissaq, is a small village located in the Sermersooq municipality of eastern Greenland. The village is situated on the eastern coast of the island of Ammassalik, near the mouth of the Ammassalik Fjord. It is one of the most remote settlements in Greenland, with limited access by sea and air.

The village has a population of approximately 20 residents, who primarily engage in subsistence activities such as hunting, fishing, and reindeer herding. The local economy also relies on tourism, with visitors drawn to the area's stunning natural scenery and opportunities for wildlife viewing.

Otiitissa is known for its rich cultural heritage, with traditional Inuit practices and customs still being practiced by the local community. The village is home to several historic sites, including the ruins of an old whaling station and the remains of a former missionary station.

Despite its remote location, Otiitissa has a strong sense of community and is known for its warm hospitality towards visitors. The village is served by a small airstrip, which provides limited flight connections to other parts of Greenland. The nearest town, Qaqortoq, is approximately 150 kilometers away by sea.

The village's name, Otiitissa, is derived from the Greenlandic language and translates to "the place where the sea meets the land." This reflects the village's coastal location and its reliance on the sea for sustenance and transportation.
