Ammassalik, Greenland

Ammassalik, Greenland
The interior of Greenland is covered with icy tundra; most of the country's population lives in villages along the warmer mountainous coastal fringe. The town pictured here, Ammassalik, lies on the eastern coast of Greenland. Ammassalik hosted a United States airbase during World War II (1939-1945).
