Emil, Nancy og Alfred er så småt på vej hjem til Danmark efter at have været her i mere end ét år. I denne, deres sidste uge, var en af de ting der gerne ville nå at krydse af inden de forlod Grønland for denne gang, at besøge den forladte bygd, Kangeq, på Håbets Ø, hvor Hans Egede først lagde til, da han ankom til Grønland i 1721. Bygden, ligger kun 30 minutters sejlads vest for Nuuk, og Karl Emil og jeg tog med.
Kangeq or Kangek (Kalaallisut: "Promontory") is a former settlement in the Sermersooq municipality in southwestern Greenland. It is located on the same island that formed the first Danish colony on Greenland between 1721 and 1728. The island of Kangeq, dubbed Håbets Ø ("Island of Hope"), formed the site of Hans Egede's first settlement in Greenland after his landing on July 3, 1721.[2] The settlement was relocated to the mainland by Major Claus Paarss in 1728.[3] The settlement was abandoned in the 60s by order from the capital and now stands as it was left.
