Upernavik i kulturen
Upernavik är spelplats för delar av handlingen i Jules Vernes satiriska roman Guldmeteoren (postumt 1908, La chasse au météore; på svenska 1974). Det är på denna lilla ö den eftersökta eldkulan från himmelen till slut slår ner.[2]

Evening panorama of the north-western part of the town Upernavik in Greenland. The viewpoint is a cliff near the soccer field with a south-eastern heading. The image has been generated using Hugin based on 21 individual photos taken at max zoom in two rows. Shutter speed: 1/250 s, aperture: 5.5. Vignetting has been minimized using a best fit polynomial in Hugin. The output image from Hugin has been rectangularly cropped to a pixel height of +1900 followed by a slight increase of lightness and saturation. Hereafter resampled to a pixel height of 1500 using a cubic spline interpolation. Finally, the image was Smart Sharpened using GIMP with a pixel radius of 1.0 and an amount of 1.0.
