I`m away for the traditional Hamburg meeting and will try to catch up next week...

at Qasigiannguit, looking out to Disko Bay and its icebergs. Sometimes you can also see whales, sadly not that day.... HBM!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenland_Dog Grönländische Schlittenhunde sind genetisch mit dem ausgestorbenem Tamyr-Wolf verwandt. Um die Reinheit der Rasse zu schützen, dürfen nördlich des Polarkreises und in ganz Ostgrönland keine anderen Hunde eingeführt werden. Schlittenhunde gehorchen nur ihrem Besitzer und sind ab dem Alter von 6 Monaten angekettet. In Upernavik waren sie bei den jeweiligen Häusern, in den Orten etwas weiter südlich gibt es außerhalb extra Gebiete für die Schlittenhunde.

SC92: food A very cold spell in April calls for something warming. Hokkaido pumpkins don't need to be peeled, just deseeded. Cooked in vegetable broth with fresh ginger, ground cumin, coriander, cardamom, cloves. Blitzed and some lemon juice and sour cream added, coriander leaves on top- ready! The salad went back in the fridge;-)

Wooden houses go up in flames pretty fast- Upernavik fire station is actually just across the road (see map)! The blue buildings serve as fire alarms and water stations

SSC: eine Flasche, die nicht steht Ich habe eine Flasche mit Aperol auf dem Boden rollen lassen und dazu noch die Kamera etwas bewegt.

Small farmhouses in Tang Valley (~2600m), one of the 4 valleys of Bumthang. HFF and a good weekend!

Upernavik lies on a small island at 72° 47′ 2″ N (Nordkapp at "only" 71° 10′ 21!). It boasts of an airport on top of the hill behind town which is just about suitable for Air Greenland's Dash 8. Upernavik has permafrost that thaws superficially in summer, making everyting muddy. 2023 was even muddier than usual because Greenland had an extremely wet/rainy summer. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upernavik

SC91: Miracle The ghostly lights wandering over the night sky are nothing short of miraculous.

HFF everybody!

Steinsund is a narrow sound between the islands of Sula/ Steinsundøyna and Ytre Sula.near the mouth of Sognefjord. There is a ferry over Steinsund but a bridge is also being built. This is a bit controversial as Ytra Sula has very few inhabitants and the costs are high. Ytre Sula

Long out of business!
