In less than an hour I leave for Greenland which at certain times of the year may not be all that green but more of an ice land. However, with forecast temperatures in the low 40's I think this is going to be a great time to visit the world's largest island which I have only seen from the air.

Have fun. Be sure to eat the weird foods there.

sparkchaser,

Any particular recommendations?

Will you get to the ruins of the Hvalsey Church ruins? Sounds like an interesting sight to me.

DMBTraveler: muskox, caribou, reindeer, and whale

sparkchaser,

No muskox, caribou, reindeer or whale meet. In tourist areas no real liking for that stuff (and it is costly to produce) so only "tourist food" offered where I stayed.

You have to go into the settlements for that experience. There is still a lot of ice so one of the day trips I had hoped to do to visit a settlement was not available.

Interestingly, as you might know seals are popular in the areas where hunting is still done. In the settlements they have no problem eating a "high fat diet".

Thanks for the report back. Was this trip solely for tourism? How's you get up there?
