The Danish name of the town was derived from the name the Dutch whalers gave to the mountain behind the village (Suikerbrood, or sugarloaf). The town is now situated a little away from its original position, but the Danish name persists. The mountain is shown in the arms behind a reindeer (karibou) which are the most common here of all Greenland. | The Danish name of the town was derived from the name the Dutch whalers gave to the mountain behind the village (Suikerbrood, or sugarloaf).
