Kangerlussuaq, Greenland
Kangerlussuaq, also known as Sonder Stroemfiord, was an American airbase until September 1992 and is Greenland's most important transport hub. The Kangerlussuaq area is home to Greenland's most diverse land-based wildlife, such as muskoxen, caribou and gyrfalcons. It is also a great place to see northern lights during the winter. These two factors make Kangerlussauq a significant tourist center during most of the year.
