Nature
Palasip Qaqqaa, known in Danish as Præstefjeldet, is a prominent mountain on the mainland coast of western Greenland just north of Sisimiut Airport near Sisimiut. Rising to 544 metres at its main eastern summit, with a lower western summit of 466 metres, it forms the coastal end of a mountain chain extending from the Pingu group. Its flatter terrain farther east reflects long past pressure from the Greenland ice sheet. Much of the massif is relatively accessible, but its steeper southern face, cut by a chimney between high points, draws climbers. The mountain is valued as a local landmark, for broad coastal views, and for varied terrain.
