Greenland has around 47 heliports and helistops spread across its remote settlements. They are extremely important because Greenland's terrain is rugged, with fjords, glaciers, and very few roads, so helicopters often provide the only practical way to move people, goods, and medical supplies. Heliports ensure year‑round access, even when sea routes are blocked by ice in winter or weather conditions make boat travel impossible. They also connect small settlements to larger airports, enabling residents to access healthcare, trade, education, and other essential services.

The webcam offers a live view of the heliport and its surrounding area on Ammassalik Island in southeastern Greenland. Tasiilaq is the largest settlement on Greenland's eastern coast, known for its dramatic Arctic landscapes, fjords, and vibrant Inuit culture. Through the webcam, people can see helicopters landing and taking off, the rugged terrain of the region, nearby mountains, and the constantly changing Arctic weather. It provides a unique glimpse into daily life in a remote community and the vital role the heliport plays in connecting settlements and supporting transport and emergency services.
