Ilulissat – Greenland’s Gateway to Arctic Wonders

[中文👇] Ilulissat, an enchanting town on Greenland’s west coast, is known for its breathtaking icebergs from the nearby Ilulissat Icefjord, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Founded in 1741 as Jakobshavn by Danish settlers, it has deep Inuit roots and a rich history tied to Arctic exploration and fishing. The town is set against a stunning landscape of glaciers and fjords, with the Sermeq Kujalleq glacier, one of the fastest-moving in the world, feeding into Disko Bay.
Activities here include hiking along the Icefjord, sailing among the towering icebergs, and witnessing the midnight sun in summer or the northern lights in winter. Reaching Ilulissat can be challenging, typically involving flights from Denmark or Iceland, but the journey rewards travelers with Greenland’s raw beauty and captivating culture.

伊盧利薩特（Ilulissat）是位於格陵蘭西海岸的一座美麗小鎮，以附近的伊盧利薩特冰川（Ilulissat Icefjord）聞名，這裡被聯合國教科文組織列為世界遺產。這座小鎮於1741年由丹麥殖民者建立，當時稱為雅各布港（Jakobshavn），但它擁有深厚的因紐特人傳統，並與北極探險和捕魚業有著悠久的歷史。伊盧利薩特的地貌壯麗，由冰川和峽灣構成，而庫雅雷克冰川（Sermeq Kujalleq）是世界上移動速度最快的冰川之一，將冰川輸送到迪斯科灣（Disko Bay）。
在這裡可以進行多種活動，包括在冰川上遠足、乘船遊覽壯觀的冰山，夏季可欣賞午夜太陽，冬季則能觀賞北極光。伊盧利薩特的交通較為困難，一般需要從丹麥或冰島轉機，但旅途的艱辛會被格陵蘭的原始美景和迷人的文化所回報。
