  Ammassalik Hotel
Ammassalik is known to local residents as "Tasiilaq", which in East Greenlandic means "Something resembling a lake."
Ammassalik is only a 10-minute helicopter ride from Kulusuk, but this short flight is one of the most scenic expeditions imaginable as you cross the ice-filled sea separating these two mountainous islands.
The town of Ammassalik lies just south of the Arctic Circle and boasts long hours of daylight in the summer and the splendour of the northern lights in the winter.

 Arctic Team Challenge 2003 - History of the Ammassalik District   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Like the rest of East Greenland the district of Ammassalik is brushed by a cold sea current running along the coast from north to south, often carrying huge amounts of broken winter ice from the sea around North Greenland and the North Pole.
It would appear that that the district was uninhabited during most of the most of the Middle Ages, and that the most recent arrivals of Eskimos (this time from the tribe of the “Thule people”) happened came during the 14th or 15th century.
Subsequently the settlements of the southern part of the east coast became deserted because of death and emigration to the west coast of Greenland.
