Ittoqqortoormiit, formerly known as Scoresbysund, is a remote settlement in eastern Greenland with a population of 345 as of 2020. Founded in 1925, it's located on Liverpool Land and boasts a tundra climate with bitterly cold winters and chilly summers. The area is known for its wildlife, including polar bears, muskoxen, and seals. Local hunters have traditionally made a living from whale and polar bear hunting, while tourism is growing in importance due to its extreme Arctic setting. Ittoqqortoormiit is one of the coldest permanently inhabited locations on Earth, making it a unique and fascinating destination for travelers seeking a truly off-the-grid experience.
