Kujataa Greenland: Norse and Inuit Farming at the Edge of the Ice Cap
World Heritage
Denmark
🎧 Listen to Introduction
Kujata is a subarctic farming landscape located in the southern region of Greenland. It bears witness to the cultural history of Norse farmer-hunters who arrived from Iceland starting in the 10th century and the Inuit hunter-gatherer and Inuit farming communities that developed in the late 18th century. Despite their differences, these two cultures, the European Norse and the Inuit, created a cultural landscape based on farming, herding and hunting of marine mammals. The landscape represents the earliest introduction of agriculture to the Arctic, as well as the expansion of Norse settlement outside of Europe.
