Nuuk (pop. 15,000)

The world’s smallest capital city, Nuuk is by far the largest and most cosmopolitan community in Greenland.  The well stocked supermarkets stock everything from Greenlandic specialties, such as whale skin and seal meat, to top French wines.  The town is the seat of the Church of Greenland, housing the office of the Bishop, and boasts two churches with two of the largest organs in Greenland.

The newer Hans Egede’s Church features a 10-stop 1971 Frobenius.
