Kujalleq, Municipality in southern Greenland.
Kujalleq is a municipality in southern Greenland that spreads across mountainous terrain shaped by deep fjords along the Labrador Sea coast. The region connects several coastal settlements and features varied landscapes ranging from the shore to the highlands.
The municipality was created in 2009 through the merger of three former separate administrative units under one governance structure. Qaqortoq was chosen to serve as the administrative center for the new unified region.
The municipal emblem features a ram's head that reflects the local sheep herding tradition, paired with the sun symbol from Greenland's national flag. These symbols tell of how farming and national identity matter to the people living in this region.
The main way to reach the area is through Narsarsuaq Airport, with helicopter services and maritime connections linking the coastal settlements. Visitors should prepare for changeable weather and limited infrastructure, as this region is remote and sparsely populated.
The Qinngua Valley holds the only natural forest formation found anywhere in Greenland, located near Tasersuaq Lake. This rare woodland is remarkable because trees do not naturally grow in most of Greenland's climate.
