Ikigait (Danish: Herjulfsnæs) is a former community in Greenland about 3 km west of Narsarmijit.
It was the site of Herjólfr Bárðarson's farm Herjolfsnes ("Herjolf's Point"[1]), one of the easternmost of the Norse settlements during their colonization of Greenland.
[2] The location was established around 1885, when a few artifacts were discovered and returned to Denmark.
In 1921, an excavation was led by Danish historian and archaeologist Poul Nørlund (1888-1951), which found the church graveyard.
