"Nuuk, Greenland", perched on the end of the Nuup Kangerlua fjord, with the snow covered Sermitsiaq Mountain in the background, is part of a series of colorful urban landscape paintings titled, "Cities and Towns I Love" � 2015 ChrisArmytage�, Photographic Artist, Australia.
Nuuk, capital of Greenland, was first occupied by the ancient pre-Inuit, Paleo-Eskimo people of the Saqqaq culture as far back as 2200 BC when they lived in the area around the now abandoned settlement of Qoornoq. For a long time it was occupied by the Dorset culture around the former settlement of Kangeq but they disappeared from the Nuuk district before AD 1000. The Nuuk area was later inhabited by Viking explorers in the 10th century, and shortly thereafter by Inuit peoples. Inuit and Norsemen both lived with little interaction in this area from about 1000 until the disappearance of the Norse settlement for uncertain reasons during the 15th century
