The Scoresby Sund ( Kangertittivaq ) in East Greenland is the largest fjord in the world. People from the Thule culture lived here until about 1800. In 1925 about 70 inhabitants from Tasiilaq = Ammassalik ( 800 km to the south ) repopulated the area in the settlement Scoresbysund ( Ittoqqortoormiit = place with big houses).
