Illorsuit (Greenlandic pronunciation: [iɬːɔsːuit]; old spelling: Igdlorssuit) is a former settlement in Avannaata municipality, in western Greenland. Located on the northeastern shore of Illorsuit Island − northwest of Uummannaq at the mouth of the Uummannaq Fjord − the settlement had 91 inhabitants in 2010.[1] Illorsuit achieved widespread attention when it experienced a severe tsunami on June 17, 2017, due to a magnitude 4.1 earthquake located north of the city.[2] It was abandoned in 2018.
Air Greenland serves the village as part of government contract, with mostly cargo helicopter flights from Illorsuit HeliporttoNuugaatsiaq and Uummannaq.[3]
The population of Illorsuit has dropped by 28 percent relative to the 1990 levels, and by nearly 17 percent relative to the 2000 levels, reflecting a general trend in the region.[1]
