Tasiilaq Coast

The coast south of Tasiilaq faces the East Greenland Current, which carries pack ice south along the shore. Near Cape Møsting, steep glaciers descend through indentations in Odinland's coast, while small islands lie offshore. The ice can obstruct ships approaching from the open Atlantic, and the mountains rise close behind the narrow coastal waters. Inuit families travelled along this difficult coast in kayaks and larger skin boats.
