"Nuna asiilasooq" (Greenlandic: [nʉna asiːlasɔːq]; Danish: "Et vældigt klippeland" [e̝t ˈve̝ltit ˈkʰle̝pəˌlænˀ], English: "A Huge Rocky Land") is a Greenlandic song used as an ethnic anthem by the self-governing Kalaallit of Greenland. It was officially recognised by the government in 1979. Both lyrics and melody were composed by Jonathan Petersen, who also wrote the musical score for Greenland's 1916-adopted national anthem "Nunarput utoqqarsuanngoravit."[1]
