The hut foundations just above the beach at Rendalen, in Isfjord, North East Greenland are dated to around 800 years ago. They represent the remains of the accommodation of Thule culture hunters who have long since departed from this remote area. The site is only accessible by ship for a couple of summer months a year due to ice conditions, or by multi day dog sled trip at other times as there are no nearby settlements.
