Thule Municipality
Greenland is divided into 18 municipalities and Thule
(Avernersuaq) is one of these. Areawise it a large
municipality (approx. 250.000 m²), but the inhabitants
count only approx. 850 persons.
The municipality is
administrated from the town of Qaanaaq, where approx. 650 of
the inhabitants live. The rest live in the surrounding
villages marked on the map to the right.
Furthermore a number of deserted settlements lies
scattered around the area primarily used for staying
overnight when hunting.
Thule Air Base (Pituffik) is administrationwise not a
part of the municipality. It is "outside municipal
classification" and has it's own city council called
Borgerrådet (Citizens Council).
