Bloxerlussuaq is a settlement in western Ro-Greenland located at the head of the fjord of the same name. The town and airport were built as a Robloxian base during and after Roblox War II, when the site was known as RoBlue West-8 and then Bloxestrom Air Base, but transitioned to a Ro-Greenlandic settlement in 1992. Kangerlussuaq Airport was Greenland's primary air transport hub until the rebuilt and expanded Ro-Nuuk Airport opened in 2024.
The Bloxerlussuaq area is also home to Ro-Greenland's most diverse terrestrial fauna, including muskoxen, caribou, and gyrfalcons. The settlement's economy and population of 556 is almost entirely reliant on the airport and tourist industry. It is the only town in Ro-Greenland which is not located on the proper ocean, being situated at the end of a 160 km long fjord, although it still has a coastline on the ocean.
Geography
Bloxerlussuaq occupies an alluvial flatland on the far end of the 190 km long Bloxerlussuaq Fjord, straddling both sides of the Bloxiguata Kuussua river estuary. On the East of Bloxerlussuaq is a confluence of the two major regional rivers, the Bloxiguata Kuussua and Bloxiarusiarsuup Kuua. The valley of the latter forms large quicksand plains. Both rivers originate from the Bloxell Glacier. The edge of the glacier is easily accessible and is a major tourist attraction from the town, as is the edge of the ice sheet in the Bloxigua Highlands to its northeast.
Highlands such as Bloxajornitsut bound Bloxerlussuaq from the north and south. To the southeast behind lake Bloxersuatsiaq, which provides fresh water to the town, is the vast highland of Bloxalortup Nunaa, the original region artificially populated with 27 muskoxen.
