The table says for "Record high °C (°F)" in July tom be "70 (158)". Come on! That CAN'T be true. Highest temperature ever measures in the world is below 60°C (google e.g. The Death Valley) -- 158.195.4.7 ( talk) 09:43, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
By what criteria is this city 'large'? Pavel Vozenilek 01:46, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Near Qaanaaq there is one of the tallest constructions outside the USA, the Radio Mast Thule.
What is meant by "one of the tallest constructions outside the USA?" The USA does not harbour all tall towers in the world i.e. the CN Tower in Toronto at 555 m. In fact, there are 7 towers taller than this one, and none of them are in the USA. The statement seems arrogant and should be reworded. --Zippanova 4 July 2005 18:35 (UTC)
The page for Globecom Tower says the tower was demolished in 1992, so the section here should read "there was one of the tallest constructions". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.84.42.153 ( talk) 15:33, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
The population of Qeqertarsuaq needs to be revised, since it contradicts the actual Qeqertarsuaq page. I was about to change the number here to the number from the Qeqertarsuaq page, but at the bottom of that page I found this little disclaimer:
Qeqertarsuaq may also refer to a tiny settlement in Qaanaaq municipality, see Qeqertarsuaq (Qaanaaq settlement).
So either the population number on this page needs to be changed, or the current [Qeqertarsuaq]] link should be changed to Qeqertarsuaq (Qaanaaq settlement). I don't know anything about this region, so I will leave it to more knowledgeable people. -- Eptin 23:26, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
I removed the description "northernmost natural settlement" on the basis that it's not at all clear what the criteria for being a "natural settlement" are. It's clearly not the northernmost residential, year round settlement (i.e., as compared to research stations). Longyearbyen and Barentsburg appear to have it beat in that department. -- Yst 17:29, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
"Qaanaaq is the world's most northerly palindrome." - Come on.... I know this article is still in sort of an infant phase, but such trivia offers the reader little in the way of substantive knowledge. 74.68.123.162 ( talk) 15:29, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
Is this picture of Qaanaaq? The description is unclear.-- SkiDragon ( talk) 17:41, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
Is the picture really showing a narwhale hunting technique? Can't find any other references showing this technique or how it's supposed to work.
How is the inuit supposed to kill the 1600kg whale and bring it to shore? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.91.28.101 ( talk) 19:38, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
Is this a joke? It looks like the kayak is flipping over... 140.247.45.74 23:54, 16 September 2011
Do they really waste nothing? Nothing at all?? This sounds like a stereotype of the "good" native. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.218.224.228 ( talk) 01:59, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
"The inhabitants of Qaanaaq speak the West Greenlandic language and many also speak Inuktun." Inuktun is what they actually speak; West Greenlandic is the official language of Greenland, but it's spoken farther south. Is this worth changing? Bws2002 ( talk) 18:46, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
The diagram about population growth is weird. I understand what it is supposed to say, but when you compare the size of the columns, you would expect a population of 6 for 1991. The column for 1991 is about one tenth the size of the column for 2005, so it seems like the population in 1991 was one tenth of the population in 2005. -- 84.190.89.103 ( talk) 08:32, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
Qaanaaq was settled in 2000 BC? That's pretty hard to believe. What source is this coming from? 1618033 golden c0ntr1b5 23:23, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

I want to know what type of heart the name Umanaq is referring to ... an anatomically realistic human heart, an animal heart (e.g. a seal maybe?) or a modern-style iconographic heart such as ❤️? I know of a folk story from Ojibwe culture in which a strawberry was described as heart-shaped, showing that modern Western culture isnt the only culture to ever make this particular connection, meaning that it could be simultaneously likened to a human heart and to an abstract shape like the ❤️. — Soap — 02:03, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
