Uunartoq island is located in the Kujalleq municipality in  southern Greenland, close to the settlement of Alluitsup Paa. The island  lies halfway between Qaqortoq and Nanortalik and can be reached on a  daytrip by boats from each of these two towns. Scattered around the  island are a number of pools fed by hot water springs bubbling up from  the ground below that keep the water temperature a balmy 34-38 degrees  even during the freezing winter. What’s unique about Uunartoq is that  the hot springs are in a completely natural environment in the middle of  a grassy field. There are no tarmac bus car parks, no spa complexes  with expensive additional products and nor is it overrun. The only  structures fashioned by the hand of man are a gangway and two modest  sheds in which to change. The ruins of a nunnery stand nearby. Pieces of  icebergs drift offshore, and many whales frequent these waters. The hot springs at Uunartoq have been known for at least a thousand  years. During the Viking era, the Norse settlers constructed bathtubs  with boulders around the springs creating a medieval spa. The  Benedictine nuns living on a neighbouring island in a convent dedicated  to Olaf the Holy helped the sick benefit from the health-giving powers  and pain-relieving effects of Uunartoq's warm water. Legends dating back  to this period tell how the island’s warm waters cured the sick,  relieved their suffering and helped them regain their health. When the  Norse settlers disappeared, the Thule race, the ancestors of present-day  Greenlanders, took over. Qerrortuut Inuit ruins dating back to the late  18th and early 19th century can still be found on the island. <img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-mee1HXpVWUg/VKWA65QetSI/AAAAAAAA-TQ/kLPXWnJXUU4/uunartoq-hot-springs-10%25255B9%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-ureCY5lb39k/VKWA9CehobI/AAAAAAAA-TY/oW6Uy9iOw58/uunartoq-hot-springs-7%25255B9%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-BtIpDKhQC8M/VKWA_dkl8BI/AAAAAAAA-Tg/38GLX3PLOBw/uunartoq-hot-springs-9%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-6MWYhduYBNo/VKWBBSJe7bI/AAAAAAAA-To/HITPsK2Dbj4/uunartoq-hot-springs-1%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Er6CNzKbdhI/VKWBDRiJ2aI/AAAAAAAA-Tw/iA5LF2VQrW4/uunartoq-hot-springs-3%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-W_ESTaOCivc/VKWBF3DAX3I/AAAAAAAA-T4/8R8auoUA500/uunartoq-hot-springs-4%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-hu3VwE6FozY/VKWBHpBPEgI/AAAAAAAA-UA/bi9PnWBZntw/uunartoq-hot-springs-6%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-vTwUt691_-I/VKWBJdTs-RI/AAAAAAAA-UI/3TG1UWkJxgw/uunartoq-hot-springs-2%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-l36ImizEi7Q/VKWBLJcJJgI/AAAAAAAA-UQ/s-EF49uKS5U/uunartoq-hot-springs-8%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-eEkNgS32A3g/VKWBNYBmZVI/AAAAAAAA-UY/0W87cH4jM0k/uunartoq-hot-springs-11%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
