Amazing, looking at Greenland from trans-Atlantic flights and all you can see from 40,000 feet up is snow and ice, ice and snow...all the way to the horizon. Mix in a glacier here and there and that's it. Hard to believe people live there, let alone have a government.

There was this documentary about such people. Once a year there was a supply ship, but usualy the store was empty. But they were happy there.

Those were my thoughts as I read this.

We skirted the coast one time on a clear day. All I could see was innumerable icebergs and sheer cliffs rising to an endlessly white landscape. The quintessence of desolation.
