My beautiful country Greenland - Kalaallit Nunaat
Today I want to talk about where I came from and who my family is. First of all, I want to thank everyone who welcomed me in my introduction, that is so sweet of you. This is my first real post and I want to write about Greenland hoping you are interested. I am from west/south Greenland in a city named Nuuk – the capital of Greenland with 17.000 population.
The first question will be “Where is Greenland?”
Those who have been to Greenland says that we have a beautiful nature and I agree. Most of the year the weather is cold but we do have summer days from June to August.
This picture is taken in June and you can see there is a cruise ship. Greenland is a destination for people who want to see the nature and wild life animals. In the north of Greenland, you can ride dogsled, which is illegal in the south/west, because the dogs are very dangerous. The dogs are trained to hunt and are working animals.
And this heart melting photo is taken in February where we have the coldest weather in Nuuk. Maybe you can see why I love my country so much. Sometimes you can see humpback whale from where I took this picture and they are so beautiful!
Our weather is not always that beautiful as you can see in the next picture.
This is my danish boyfriend who is not used to this weather. If you are considering to take a vacation in Greenland in the period from October to March, please TAKE SOME WARM CLOTHES with you. I will mention that the trip to Greenland is very expensive because there just one big airport in Greenland.
My family:
This is a picture of my family. From left my mom, little (big) brother, my father, little nephew, my nephews mother and grandmother. Those clothes are our national costumes of Greenland, we wear them on special occasions.
Thank you very much for reading my post and I will keep you updated with more pictures soon.
Wow, this looks so awesome 😍 Especially the heart melting picture in the middle, which you could definitely use as a screensaver or wallpaper 😊 But your boyfriend really doesn't seem to be used to the weather in greenland 😃
Thank you :D
I have always loved to take some pictures. This is the first time my boyfriend is in Greenland :D
You are welcome 😉 But for being his first time in Greenland it looks like he's handling it pretty good actually 😊 Anyways as soon as he sees such heartwarming views like on the picture he can't be freezing anymore, especially not while being at your side 😉
Hehe ;) He was really enjoying the beautiful days and survived the bad weather :D
I'm quite sensitive to cold, but heck, one day I have to visit Greenland. How much worse than Sweden can it be anyway? Thanks for sharing @inuk!
As a "part" of Denmark, it is kinda embarrassing that I have never visited this place !
You welcome! :)
We do have more snow and cold weather than Sweden but if you want to vist Greenland on summer days is also very colorful and very warm ;)
I recommend that you take to Ilulissat :D
Summer it is then :) And Ilulissat looks truly magical!
isn´t? :D
I am glad that you like it ;)
So beautiful! I especially love the national costumes of Greenland. If you had to pick just one place in all of Greenland to recommend to a traveler, where would it be? :)
Thank you very much! :)
I will recommend a city named Ilulissat, it is located in north Greenland. You can see some gigantic icebergs, ride dogsled, see the icecap and lot more ;)
Awesome! If I am ever fortunate enough to visit Greenland I will make sure to stop there. Cheers :)
Indeed a beautiful place. But it seems too cold. Good clicks as well. Cheers!!
Hehe :D Yes then you should take to Greenland on a warm summer day. ;) Cheers!
I come from a place where there is only two types of weather forecast too hot and not too hot so if i go there I might die. :)
Sounds very hot! :D So you just have to enjoy my pictures then :D
haha
After watching this post only one thing is coming in my mind that is "Winter is coming".
Snaps are really awesome.Your family look beautiful with the national costumes.
God bless you and your family..:)
Winter can wait a little bit longer, we have to enjoy the summer first :D
Thank you :)
Thanks, beautiful post!

Thank you for the post. I have not thought about Greenland before. Your post encourages me to explore thru the internet.
Thanks @lickachops ;)
Greenland is also under the Danish kingdom and there are few who know where Greenland is ;) :)
Nice to see some pics from Greenland and of your family as well.
