Scoresby Sund is the world's largest and longest fjord system, a vast Arctic labyrinth of islands, fjords and ice. Named for explorer William Scoresby, it now has only Ittoqqortoormiit, though Paleo-Eskimo peoples once lived there. It is rich in wildlife-musk oxen, arctic foxes, whales, belugas, narwhals, walrus, seals, seabirds, and polar bears. Its true highlight is the scenery: calm fjord waters, huge icebergs, and dramatic, ice-capped mountains.

In the 1920s, overcrowding in Ammassalik led to the founding of Scoresbysund in 1925, bringing about 70 Inuit from Ammassalik and four West Greenland families. Ittoqqortoormiit, on Liverpool Land near the Scoresby Sund entrance, is one of Greenland's most isolated settlements, with about 460 residents. Frozen for nine months, it is reached via Constable Point airport. Hunting remains important, though tourism is growing.
