Avannaata, Northwestern municipality in Greenland.
Avannaata covers 522,700 square kilometers of land, extending from the ice sheets to the Baffin Bay, including numerous settlements along its coastline.
The municipality was established in January 2018 through the division of the former Qaasuitsup territory, with Ilulissat designated as its administrative center.
Traditional Inuit practices of hunting and fishing remain central to daily life across Avannaata's settlements, sustaining centuries-old connections to the land.
Regular flights connect Ilulissat Airport to Nuuk and Copenhagen, while boats and helicopters provide transport between coastal communities during summer months.
The region contains the Upernavik Archipelago, where settlements rank among the northernmost permanently inhabited locations in the world.
