Sisimiut (pop: 5,600) is the second largest and northernmost tow in Greenland (40 kilometers/24 miles) above the Arctic Circle and has been inhabited for the last 4,500 years by the Inuit, Dorset and Thule people.

Danish missionaries first settled in this area in the 1720s. Fishing is the principal industry and there is an airport served by Air Greenland.

It is important to know that dogs in Greenland are valuable to their owners as working dogs and when chained, not to be touched.
