TO GO WITH AFP STORY by Florent VERGNES
Passengers wearing life jackets and coldwater survival suits wait with their luggage to board a small motorboat from the Sarfaq Ittuk ferry to reach the village, whose harbor is not equipped to accommodate large vessels, in Kangaamiut, Greenland, on March 14, 2026. The Sarfaq Ittuk is a vital and iconic coastal ferry for Greenlanders, keeping small west coast communities connected to low cost. It links Qaqortoq in the south to Ilulissat in the north in a week-long journey. This year, an unusually warm January allowed the ferry to reach Ilulissat much earlier than usual, as the town is normally blocked by sea ice in March. Around 200 passengers travel on board for medical needs, work, tourism, or simply to meet people. But with new airports opening and a lack of investors, the future of the Sarfaq Ittuk is increasingly uncertain. (Photo by Florent VERGNES / AFP)
