Qeqertat is a small village in the Qaanaaq area of the Avannaata municipality, in northern Greenland.
It is located on the Harvard islands, in the inner Inglefield Fjord, approximately 63 km (39 mi) east of Qaanaaq.
[1][2] The local economy relies heavily on traditional Inuit hunting for narwhal, seals, and walrus.
Instead, the townsfolk must get their water from nearby rivers and lakes, or, in winter, collect sea ice to melt.
[5] A 1984 National Geographic article stated that the population of the town had recently fallen from 50 to about 20.
