Sermersooq is a municipality of Greenland that spans the southwest and east coasts. It includes the capital, Nuuk, as well as eastern towns such as Tasiilaq and Ittoqqortoormiit in Scoresbysund. Nuuk has the Greenland National Museum, a cathedral and the vast Nuuk Fjord, where boat trips let you see icebergs and whales.
