Uummannaq. 2004.
Uummannaq, which means "heart-shaped" in greenlandic, owes its name to the rock overhanging the town. It is located on a small island in the middle of a fjord. In winter the fjord normally freezes and sledges, snowmobiles and even cars can be used to travel on the ice to the settlements in the uummaannaq area.
