Culture
Danish and Greenlandic children believe that Santa Claus lives in Spraglebugten bay in the west of the island. A turf hut (Santa's Castle) was built there for a Danish television programme and remains Santa's home in the popular imagination.
Scottish singer KT Tunstall's third album Tiger Suit features the track "Uummannaq Song", which was inspired by her trip to the town in September 2008 with Cape Farewell.
Uummannaq is home to Uummannaq Music - the world's northernmost music platform on sea ice.
