A broad slab of glacial ice drifts on the dark water deep in Nuup Kangerlua on an August day, about 25 km up the fjord from Nuuk.

Royal Greenland's trawler Avataq, registered in Nuuk, alongside at the quay. Built in Spain and delivered in January 2020, she works prawns and Greenland halibut, with a factory deck that processes and freezes the catch at sea.

A single lamp holds a pool of light against the dark, the empty boardwalk deck glowing alone at the edge of the Nuuk night.
