Kujalleq

The Kujalleq municipality extends across 32,000 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, marked by deep fjords along the coast of the Labrador Sea.

The municipality began operations in 2009 through the consolidation of three former municipalities: Nanortalik, Narsaq, and Qaqortoq, with Qaqortoq selected as administrative center.

The municipal coat of arms displays a ram head representing sheep farming practices, combined with the sun symbol from the Greenlandic national flag.

Narsarsuaq Airport functions as the primary transportation hub for Kujalleq, supplemented by helicopter services and maritime connections between coastal settlements.

The Qinngua Valley within Kujalleq contains the single natural forest formation across Greenland, located near Tasersuaq Lake.
