Augpilagtoq : Profile

Location

Augpilagtoq is a small fishing and hunting village within the Prins Christian Sund fiord and channel complex about 20 NM from the entrance on the southwestern Greenland shore and 38 NM from the east coast entrance to Prins Christian Sund.

Docking

The quay is visible as you come through the narrow entrance to the harbor and only the east side is suitable for mooring a yacht due to tidal range. Other local boats may well raft alongside.

There is a small market in Augpilagtoq with limited supplies. Showers and laundry are available. There are no refueling facilities.
