Danish Polar Center has established an IPY service office in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland's main international and domestic traffic hub and the gateway to the Ice Sheet. The office is located in KISS, the researchers' hotel, and will be staffed until the end of August. The IPY service is targetted at the many researchers coming to Greenland during IPY. When you arrive at the airport, look for the IPY banner and the IPY logo * and you'll find the IPY service staff.

The IPY service in Kangerlussuaq is a cooperative effort between Danish Polar Center, Kangerlussuaq International Science Support (KISS) and Greenland Home Rule's Office for Research Coordination.

As part of the service an "IPY SERVICE Manual" is available for download. The manual includes material and information pertinent for researchers, KISS users and others who are using the opportunities and infrastructure of Kangerlussuaq to launch and conduct their field research in Greenland.

More information is available on the IPY SERVICE website.
