Overview

The northern municipality of the West Greenland (called "Kitaa") is Upenaviuk. 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.

Photos at <www.upernavik.gl< show only coat of arms but no flag. Therefore, this reported flag probably don't exist (yet?). For information about the Coat of Arms, see <www.ngw.nl>.
