Mensaje de Line Hedegaard

The Hans Egede Statue is a monument in Nuuk, Greenland, honoring the Danish-Norwegian missionary who founded the city in 1728.

There is a good view from the statue over the city and the fjord. You can find the path to the statue right behind the yellow house.

Paid for by Greenlanders and erected in 1922, the statue depicts Egede holding a staff and a bible. However, recent controversies have arisen, with the statue being vandalized multiple times and calls for its removal due to Egede's controversial missionary practices.

Despite debates, a poll in 2020 showed mixed opinions on whether the statue should stay or be removed, highlighting the ongoing discussion surrounding its presence in Nuuk.
