Anavik

Anavik, also known as Ujarassuit, was a Norse farm above a branch of the Nuuk fjord in Greenland's Western Settlement. Its buildings included a church and a substantial storehouse, signs of a prominent estate among the scattered farms of the region. Across the fjord are deposits of soapstone, a material used to make vessels and lamps. The remains of quarries and workshops show how the stone's resources were used by different peoples in Greenland over a long period.
