Finally we came to Greenland, and the crossing could not be smoother,
and we were met by icebergs, sun and the biggest fjord in the world.
Scoresbysund is also a settlement, the second biggest in east Greenland and the
Greenlandic name is Ittoqqortoormiit.
This is the village where Martin on the
expedition team lived for 9 years, working as a professional hunter.
Now there is about 450 people living there. They were expecting us and
had prepared an “open town” for us. We could visit the church, museum, local grocery
store, buy souvenirs and meet some of the local dogs.
It was very interesting to
see how people live this far north, isolated from the rest of the world.
The sun was shining from a blue sky, almost no wind, but nothing to ruin our day! A Great first day in Greenland!
