Qeqertarsuatsiaat, also known by its Danish name Fiskernæs (alternatively Fiskenæsset), is a settlement in the Sermersooq municipality in southwestern Greenland, located on an island off the shores of Labrador Sea.
Unusually, the settlement became the early center of Greenland's salmon[citation needed] and cod fisheries[4] and it was as common to see the large "woman's boat" or umiak as the smaller hunting kayaks.
In 1748,[5] 1754,[6] 1757,[7] or 1758,[8] the Moravian mission of Lichtenfels was established in another inlet of the same island by Matthias Stach and four families from New Herrnhut.
The first conversions were not made until 1760[8] or 1761,[7] but afterwards the population of the settlement rose to around 300[8] and was for a time the largest village in Greenland.
The Danish Crown Princely family visited the town as part of an official tour of Greenland in summer 2014.
