 The airport at Kangerlussuaq has regular scheduled flights to Denmark throughout the year and
 is also the hub for all internal flights in West Greenland. In the area around the airport is an 
 extensive network of unpaved roads (extensive for Greenland, that is) along which you can cycle 
 or take a 4 wheel drive vehicle to the edge of the inland ice.

  View towards the ice cap. Bright fall colors and a herd of musk oxen in the far distance. Some of the approximately
  4,000 musk oxen that live in the Kangerlussuaq area.

 If you do this you are sure to see some of the many reindeer and musk oxen which roam through 
 the mountains. The musk oxen around Kangerlussuaq come originally from an East Greenland
 herd introduced into the area during the 1960s.
