Ilulissat Harbour is a Harbor or Marina at 3952 Ilulissat, Greenland

Ilulissat Harbour is the busy heart of this west Greenland town, where fishing boats crowd the quays against a backdrop of icebergs drifting in Disko Bay. Fishing, above all for halibut, is the lifeblood of Ilulissat, and the harbour bustles with the catch coming ashore. Boat trips out among the icebergs and along the fjord set off from here, and sled dogs can often be heard from the shore. A vivid window onto Arctic life.
