History
The station was built in 1970 to provide the logistical base for the research.[2] In 1972, the main building was destroyed by an avalanche. It was rebuilt later closer to the shore, which is its current location.
Transportation
The station is located on the west side of Ammassalik Island. The closest settlement is Tasiilaq, and it would take around 1 day on foot to get from there to the station. The station is situated on a popular hiking route around the island.
