Dear diary, Today is Monday. Today we are moving to Ilulissat. I am looking forward to seeing Ilulissat. But I am also sorry to have to say goodbye to my friends. I am a bit worried about whether I will get any friends in the new school. My parents want to move because there are more possibilities in town. Luckily they promise that we will always visit the settlement. I am very happy about that. I love being here. Ole, 9 years old

This is what it looks like at the Icefjord Centre in wintertime. On the next page you will see where Ilulissat is located.

Ole owns a small hotel in Oqaatsut. Ole tells that when you stand in front of the hotel and look down at Ilulissat, you can see more of the Icefjord than you can from Ilulissat. This he thinks is a little funny.
