The changing pack ice conditions and ferocious piteraq storms make airport transfers dodgy. Some will hire a quadbike or walk into Kulusuk village. Many will transfer by helicopter to the main town of Tasilaq. Others will transfer by skidoo or dog sledge to surrounding villages.
In cold winters Ammassalik fjord freezes, but this is becoming rarer. Kuummiut is about 35km in a straight line from Kulusuk, but in March 2011 the route was an 82km journey where the ice was firm. When there is more open water, dogs and sledges go by boat to the ice edge.
