Nanortalik Heliport Live Cam

Historical Emergence

Perched on the southern tip of Greenland’s Kujalleq region, Nanortalik Heliport (ICAO: BGBN) was inaugurated in 1992 to replace the unreliable coastal boat routes and hazardous dog-sled trails that once connected Nanortalik town to neighboring settlements. Prior to the heliport’s construction, Nanortalik—whose name means “the place of polar bears” in Kalaallisut—remained isolated for months each year when pack ice choked the channels of Tasermiut Fjord. The heliport’s 350 by 30 meter reinforced concrete helipad, equipped with embedded de-icing coils, ushered in an era of dependable “Greenland heliport flights” and “South Greenland travel” that bolstered medevac readiness, cargo distribution, and adventure tourism alike.
