Kulusuk Airport
Kulusuk Airport serves the small settlement of Kulusuk on the remote east coast of Greenland, in the Sermersooq municipality, one of the least accessible inhabited coasts in the world. At an elevation of about 117 feet, it has a single runway of roughly 3,934 feet, acting as the main air gateway to eastern Greenland from Iceland and the rest of the country. The surrounding landscape is one of ice, fjords, and scattered communities, where air travel is the only practical way in and out for much of the year. The KUS code identifies this Arctic field, a vital link for the isolated settlements of Greenland's eastern shore and a jumping-off point for visitors to the region.
