Narsarsuaq is a settlement in the Kujalleq municipality in southern Greenland. It had 158 inhabitants in 2010.Narsarsuaq means 'the great plain' – so the Americans found it to be the obvious place to establish a landing strip when looking for places to do stopovers in 1941. The Americans have since left again, and the landing strip now functions as the gateway to entire Greenland. Planes depart to Copenhagen, Iceland and Nuuk, and smaller helicopters can carry you to the towns in Southern Greenland.
