Kujataa

Kujataa, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Denmark, is a sub-arctic farming landscape in southern Greenland that showcases the intertwined histories of Norse and Inuit cultures. Inscribed in 2017, it highlights over a thousand years of agricultural adaptation to the harsh Arctic environment, beginning with Norse settlers in the 10th century who introduced farming practices, followed by Inuit communities who blended farming with marine hunting. The site features archaeological ruins, modern sheep farms, and evidence of medieval irrigation systems, reflecting the resilience and ingenuity of these cultures at the edge of the ice cap.
