Itseqqortoormiit Location

70.4856, -21.9629

70.48557, -21.96288 View on OpenStreetMap →

Itseqqortoormiit sits at 70.4856°N, 21.9629°W, on the coast of Greenland. The marker on the map shows the spot the readings on this page come from. It usually sits a short distance from the town centre, out on the open water itself, so the numbers stay tied to the coast rather than a generic point inland.

Coastlines bend, headlands focus the water, and the temperature can run noticeably differently between two beaches that look close together on a map. Comparing nearby locations is a quick way to see how local geography is shaping the readings.
