Kangeq or Kangek (Kalaallisut: "Promontory") is a former settlement in the Sermersooq municipality in southwestern Greenland.
As a coastal settlement, Kangeq was positioned on the migration route of the ancient Inuit peoples.
[3] In the mid-19th century, it was also home to the artist Aron of Kangeq (1822-1869), a Greenland Inuit hunter, painter, and oral historian.
[6] In 2009, the old houses of Kangeq were used as a backdrop for the Eksperimentet film, with the settlement emulating the look of Nuuk in 1952.
[7] Kangeq was located in an island at the mouth of the Nuup Kangerlua fjord,[8] on the coast of the Labrador Sea, approximately 18 km (11 mi) west-south-west of Nuuk, the capital of Greenland.
