Black Ridge (Ravneklippen)
Ravneklippen
A low rocky ridge at the edge of town, reached by a short walk, offering views over the airport, the river valley and the far end of the fjord.
Ravneklippen (Danish for 'Raven Rock') lies on the hillside southeast of the airport runway. It is about 20 to 30 minutes' walk from the town center, with signposts along the way. From the ridge you can look over the whole of Kangerlussuaq, the runway, the winding Watson River and the fjord in the distance. It is the easiest walk for filling time between flights or on your arrival day. The slope is gentle, but the rock surface is covered with loose gravel, so wear non-slip shoes. Entry is free.
