Overview

• The iceberg has hovered within a few hundred meters of Innaarsuit’s harbour since Monday, defying typical drift patterns that usually see large ice masses move on within days.
• Avannaata Municipality Emergency Services continue to advise residents to avoid the shoreline and limit travel around the fish factory and local shop.
• The local fish processing plant and food store have stayed closed as a precaution against potential damage from sudden ice collapses.
• Officials warn that falling ice chunks could trigger powerful waves capable of washing away or damaging low-lying buildings along the shore.
• Innaarsuit’s fishing-based economy faces uncertainty from this prolonged encounter, recalling a similar 2018 iceberg event that led to temporary evacuations but caused no harm.
