Alanngorsuaq

Alanngorsuaq is a 411-metre mountain in western Greenland, about 3 kilometres east of Sisimiut, standing apart from the Nasaasaaq massif across a shallow saddle at the end of a west-to-east range. Its long summit ridge, varied slopes, and northeastern wall make it notable for mountaineering, while the broader landscape reflects both bedrock structure and glaciation. The mountain is also closely woven into life in Sisimiut: nearby lakes and reservoirs support the town’s water supply, the valley serves as a major recreation area, the summit is often climbed for wide views, winter brings skiing, and the saddle carries inland routes including the Polar Route and part of the Arctic Circle Race.
