Economy of Nanortalik

JuteVilla
Crab fishing, hunting for hooded seals, and fishing from small boats are the main sources of income for the area's inhabitants. Since 2004, a goldmine in Kirkespir Valley, 30 km north Nanortalik has proven highly successful, and this is likely to change the structure of the town's economy.

During the spring, many Greenlanders hunt hooded seals among the outer islands, where the pack ice drifts up from the east coast on its way north. The age-old culture of the Inuit lives on in this annual hunting tradition.
