Arsuk, Greenland
Follows Greenland Residency Rules. Check Digital Nomad & Retiree Pathways →
With a population of just 78 people, Arsuk is a remote outpost on the edge of the Labrador Sea. The village has been hemorrhaging residents for decades, shedding over 50% of its population since the 1990s after the closure of a local mine. Bureaucracy is a persistent headache, with the only connection to the outside world a coastal ship that takes hours to reach the nearest towns. Despite its tourism potential, Arsuk has become an economic backwater, a far cry from its days as a cryolite mining hub. Only the most intrepid adventurers willing to brave the isolation and sparse services should consider making this icy hamlet their home.
