Kulusuk (originally: Qulusuk is a settlement in the Sermersooq municipality in southeastern Greenland, located on an island of the same name. The settlement population of 286 is quite uncommon for an Inuit settlementin Greenland with many Danes choosing to live there, due to the airport. In the Greenlandic language, the name of the village means "the chest of a black.

The urbanized area of the settlement is centered around the harbour in the northwestern part of the island, on the shores of the Torsuut Tunoq sound. Industrial utility buildings are also scattered in the vicinity of the airport, to the northwest of the runway.

Qassiarsuk (Old Norse: Brattahlid) is a settlement in Southern Greenland.
This village is the place Erik the Red once had his settlement. Several small stone huts and other traces of the Norse settlements can be seen in the area. In Qassiarsuk a chuch and a longhouse have been reconstructed to give visitors an understanding of life in those days.
