What goes on in Greenland? It's a large enough country with a sizeable population but we never hear about stuff going on there. I'm tempted to just book a flight for next year so I can eat whale steaks and bask in some good nature.
What goes on in Greenland?
I know a guy who’s actually been there. Told me it was unbelievably beautiful. He took a helicopter ride all over the place too and boated around it. I’d like to go as well.
I've never been, but it looks second tier to Iceland. Has OP to Iceland yet? There's a place I could go over and over. Looks like I'll be waiting for the earthquakes to settle down and rebuilding of Blue Lagoon though, before going back.
>Blue Lagoon
kek
>the pool is madmade, that means bad
wait till you go to budapest
Sparty was fun for what it was
I’ve been there. Outstandingly beautiful and largely untouched by man.
Getting there was a pain (flights from Reykjavík) and moving around the settlements relies on local ad hoc flights or boats. But we’ll look at the pictures anon. It really do be like that.
>sizeable population
not really there's like 60,000 people.

Which part?
Eastgreenland is basically pure wilderness.
Southgreenland is more familiar to foreigners due to flora.
Westgreenland is more Scandinavian and Asian oriented
(that was subarctic)
Northgreenland (starting from Sisimiut, arguably Kangerlussuaq is within the arctic circle) is more closer to how you'd imagine Greenland.
It's not for travellers that are seeking busy life and big cities.

Are there a lot of Danes in Greenland?
There is. I've shared picrel around on other boards, but I still have yet to update it.
I imagine it's roughly the same figures, but the color yellow always bothered me, did not realize it when I made it.
Also been there.
Air Greenland operates a a330-800neo (with a first class) from copenhagen to kangerlussuaq (the only place on greenland that can take a large jet, though this is slowly changing). Air greenland then operates a fleet of Dash 8's they use around greenland, including kangerlussuaq to nuuk. This also includes the flight from nuuk to keflavik (which I believe is the longest dash 8 flight in the world?).
As far as greenland itself, as the others that have been mentioned, it is absolutely beautiful. Nuuk has good infrastructure, as do some of the smaller villages. Its not the cheapest place you'll visit (it's actually quite expensive), but even in the most populated places like Nuuk there's basically no tourists.
A very cool place.
Wanted to mention this, too.
International Airports are still in construction, I think they'll open in 2025 (Ilulissat, Nuuk and Qaqortoq)
So there'll be direct routes to those three towns, without landing in Kangerlussuaq....
I'll be flying next summer, wish they were open by then tbh, there's not much to do in Kangerlussuaq
you can gawk at the crazy priced items in the airport grocery store, grab a hotdog from the airport cafeteria then board your Dash 8 to nuuk lol
It's tolerable when it's 2 hrs., 8 hrs. calls for a hike up the rail.
Spending a night is just too much.
