Overview

The northern municipality of the West Greenland (called "Kitaa") is Upenaviuq (Upernavik in Danish). The official name is "Kommunegarfik Upernaviuq". I found the blazon of the town at <www.upernavik.gl> where you can find images and information too. The symbol of Upernavik consists of a light blue shield with an orange sun in the centre, and three white and black seals around it.
