A trip to the North. Part 2 of 2: Greenland.

Hello Steemians!

This is the 2nd part of my story and trip to the north. My first stop was Iceland (Part 1). Further north I arrived in Greenland in the city Tassilaq, July 2009.

Some facts: Greenland is the biggest island in the world!

It is a politically autonomous part of Denmark and has the lowest population density in the world apart from the antarctic.

Tassilaq is the greenlandic name for the city, Ammassalik the danish and it is located in the south-east of Greenland. Tassilaq means 'like a calm lake'  because it is located in a pretty quiet fjord.

Tassilaq was like my headquarter or base. I made a couple of excursions as well as you can imagine :)

Some impressions of Tassilaq and some images of my excursions. Hope you enjoy.

The idyll is simply fabulous! 

The even had a soccer field and I enjoyed watching them pretty much every day :) You can see it in the lower pat of the image.

These little friends had not much to do. Huskys are adorable and beautiful animals, I love them.

But if you are in Greenland you have to do it: A dog-sled ride. It was awesome :)

A different view on Tassilaq, from the distance. I was standing in a real flower carpet :)

The harbor and a supply ship.

The typical jerky, can be found next to the houses very often.

And of course I went on a trip to see icebergs. A must :) We went in those little boats, you can see them in the lower part of the image.

On our way to the icebergs...

The colors, the landscape, the weather: A beautiful and breath taking mix.

In the upper part, right side, you can see again the ice sheet, this part is always covered with ice!

We are used to cars driving by our house. They have floes instead :)

... and finally some icbergs.

This is probably my favourite image :)

Stonehenge on ice ::))

I hope you enjoyed this little insight into Greenland. I can only recommend to go there. It's an experience you'll never forget.

Steem on!
