Qaqortoq runs on America/Nuuk, which puts the city UTC −1 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
Qaqortoq is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC −1 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 24 October 2026, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
