the Eastern Greenland is a region of Greenland.
Understand
East Greenland is not as densely populated as the already sparsely populated West. Traveling in this region is therefore all the more a trip off the beaten track.
Geography
Much more isolated than the West, East Greenland does not benefit from the large living spaces guaranteed by the fjord in the East and South of the country. On the contrary, the country are characterized by a very rugged relief.
Weather
The region of Tasiilaq occasionally suffers from strong winds, particularly in autumn and winter.
Story
This region has experienced various waves of Inuit settlement like the rest of the country. The population of this region was nevertheless intermittent, due in particular to emigration to the benefit of the West. It was not until the end of the XIXe century that Danish became interested in the region and founded colonies there.

Other destinations
To speak
the tunumiisut, the dialect of East Greenlandic, has a number of differences from Greenlandic official spoken in the West. It is in fact the Inuit dialect which is the farthest from the source of Inuit settlement in Alaska. The rest is no different from the rest of the country, so the Danish is spoken fluently andEnglish is fairly well understood.
