Ilimanaq Greenland (Autumn)

Description

Summer is very short in Greenland, the colors of the plants change quickly, but they are still a sight to behold. Ilimanaq lies about 15 km south of the Ilulissat ice fjord, and its name means 'the place of expectations'. One of the oldest settlements in Greenland, it began as a mission post around 1741; 54 people lived there in 2017, and fishing, sealing and whaling are its main trades.
