Sermilik Station, Arctic research station in Sermersooq, Greenland

The station consists of multiple buildings on Ammassalik Island, including a two-story structure that accommodates 25 researchers and several support facilities.

The station, established in 1970 by the University of Copenhagen, required reconstruction in 1972 after an avalanche destroyed the main building.

Scientists at the station collaborate with local Inuit communities of Tasiilaq, incorporating traditional knowledge into their research of Arctic environments.

Access to the facility requires flying to Kulusuk Airport, followed by helicopter transfers or boat rides to Tasiilaq and a 15-kilometer hike.

Researchers monitor the Mittivakkat Glacier's mass balance and study the Piteraq wind phenomenon specific to this region of Greenland.
