Arsuk is a blink-and-you-miss-it settlement where the Labrador Sea meets fjords. The entire town could fit in a single New York apartment building. You're dealing with Sermersooq's vast emptiness—531,900 square kilometers with fewer people than a suburban Walmart parking lot on a Tuesday.

Groceries arrive by boat when weather permits. The nearest hospital is in Nuuk, a helicopter ride away. This is frontier living with Arctic bureaucracy. Your neighbors will either be fishermen or government workers maintaining the few roads that don't vanish under snow.
