Many of the 85,000 tourists who visit each year head to the west coast, but eastern Greenland, with its glaciers, wilderness and wildlife starring whales and polar bears, is also drawing visitors. Bovet was on an artistic residency in Greenland when she visited Kulusuk and its 250 souls. Tourists also take boat trips during the summer high season from July to August. Arrivals to the island grew 10% year-on-year from 2014 to 2017, and three% in 2018, according to the tourist board, Visit Greenland. Like many parts of Greenland, Kulusuk has no tarmac roads and visitors must travel by plane or boat.
