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

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!

SC90: Unusually blue item A wall painting at Rangjung Woesel Choling Dratshang. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vajrakilaya Buddhist deities take on various shapes, in their wrathful manifestation as protectors of faith they usually have blue bodies and three eyes (and sometimes multiple heads, legs and arms) Other examples: Part of a Zangdogpalri (Guru Rinpoche's "paradise") painting at Trongsa Dzong- the sinners must stay outside- very similar to Christian hell;-) Protective deity (Vajrapani) guarding the entrance at Tamshing Lhakang
