Lake Ferguson
Tasersuatsiaq
A long, narrow glacial lake south of town, circled by a dirt road for walking or cycling. Far from the airport lights in winter, it is a good place to watch the northern lights.
Tasersuatsiaq (Lake Ferguson) lies a few kilometers south of Kangerlussuaq. It is a long, narrow lake surrounded by tundra hills, and it is also the town's water source. You can walk or cycle from the town center along a dirt track to the lakeshore in about an hour one way. Along the way you may see reindeer and Arctic hares, and the calm shore is good for reflection photos. In winter the site is far from airport lights, and clear nights make it a popular place to watch the aurora. Many local aurora tours also choose this area. Walking here is free, but please respect the water-protection rules.
