Tarajornitsut

[5] Numerous rusting barrels, wooden platforms, and small wetland bridges left by the American Army are common in the area.

The climate of the region is polar continental, and very stable due to considerable distance from the coast of Davis Strait, with the area receiving very little rainfall.

[5][6] Kangerlussuaq is one of the settlements in Greenland exhibiting stable population growth patterns over the past two decades,[7] with a dynamically growing tourism industry, primarily thanks to the airport.

Within the newly drafted development plan for the Kangerlussuaq area, the municipal authorities aim to establish a nature preserve in Tarajornitsut, with tourism channeled instead into the Akuliarusiarsuup Kuua valley with Russell Glacier, and into the Isunngua highland to the east,[4] towards the icesheet.

The tough, 160 km (99 mi) long Arctic Circle Race takes place each winter, with the trail partially overlapping with the Polar Route from Sisimiut to Kangerlussuaq.

Some of the smaller tundra lakes present on the old maps of Greenland have disappeared, turning into marshy wetlands due to plant overgrowth.
