Sermilik Station is a glaciology research station on Ammassalik Island, dedicated to the research of the nearby Mittivakkat Glacier. The station is located on the west side of the Ammasalik island in south east Greenland,^[1] on the shore of the Sermilik Fjord. The station is not permanently staffed but visiting researchers work there during the summer months.

The station was built in 1970 to provide the logistical base for the research.^[2] The closest settlement is Tasiilaq, around a day away by foot.^{[citation needed]} The station is situated on a popular hiking route around the island.

In 1972, the main building was destroyed by an avalanche. It was rebuilt later closer to the shore, which is its current location.^{[citation needed]}
