Isunngua

Isunngua is notable for a gravel road which leads through it towards the edge of the Greenland Ice Sheet, located 40 km (25 mi) east of Kangerlussuaq, and due to trivial approach it remains a popular tourist target,[2] although very few hikers make the journey on foot, or explore the neighboring glaciers.

In the spring of 2000 the Swedish construction group Skanska's Greenlandic subsidiary completed six months' work in establishing a 30 kilometres (19 mi) road for the testing company Nausta, which operates a testing site in northern Sweden.

The road runs through the glacial valley of Akuliarusiarsuup Kuua, from Kangerlussuaq to the edge of the permanent inland ice in Isunngua.

Nausta built the facility to complement the winter testing done by Volkswagen in northern Sweden and Finland.

The cars were flown from Europe to Kangerlussuaq, and then driven to the proving grounds after last-minute checks.
