    Nuuk is the capital and largest settlement of Greenland.

    The main industry is fishing, especially that of crabs and halibut.

      According to the old spelling Nûk; Danish Godthåb [ˈgɔdhoːʔb]) is the capital and at the same time, with over 18,000 inhabitants, by far the largest city in Greenland. It forms the cultural center of the country and is growing rapidly with the urbanization tendencies of the arctic country that belongs to Denmark.

      Nuuk is located on the western tip of an approx. 75 km long peninsula, which is bounded in the north by the Uummannap Sullua and in the south by the Ameralik fjord. South of Nuuk, this peninsula is divided by the Kangerluarsunnguaq (Kobbefjord) fjord. The Nuup Kangerlua (Godthåbsfjord), one of the longest and widest fjords in Greenland and the main arm of one of the largest fjord systems in the country, runs off the west coast of Nuuk. The urban area grows around the bay Qinngorput (Malenebugt). To the south of this are a number of other larger islands, the largest of which are Aqissersiorfik (Rypeø) and Angisunnguaq. The next inhabited place from Nuuk, Kapisillit, is about 75 km away in the inland part of the fjord system
