Savissivik is a settlement in the Qaasuitsup municipality in northern Greenland. It is located on the northern shores of Melville Bay. In the Greenlandic language, the name Savissivik means “Place of Meteoric Iron” or “Knives”, alluding to the numerous meteorite fragments that have been found in the area dating to about 10,000 years ago.
The Cape York meteorite is estimated to have weighed 100 tonnes before it exploded. The iron from the meteorite is believed to have attracted migrating Inuit from Arctic Canada. Air Greenland operates settlement flights to Qaanaaq Airport via Thule Air Base. The twice-weekly flights are subsidized by the Government of Greenland. Transfers at the airbase are subject to access restrictions by the Danish Foreign Ministry.
