We have finally made it to Nuuk, Greenland. We just wanted to share some of the spectacular scenery we experienced on our flight from Iceland to Greenland. We only arrived 24 hrs ago and hence are just adjusting to our new surrounds. Jake & Harrison are happy as just outside the door are some rocks that they spent hours playing on yesterday. The weather is great today, blue sky, not too much wind ( more importantly no rain) and about 10 deg. I managed an early morning run this morning it was not as cold as I expected. We are getting [View Full Entry]

Hallo All! Ve are having a Vunderfull time and miss you all wery much! We write to you this evening from Nuuk, Greenland while the sun shines through the kitchen window of our host´'s home. They are sitting next to us here at the dinner table as we wash clothes in their vashing machine...ya! We really wish we could post some pictures, but as you will hopefully soon see, we have been in some extremely remote areas. For example, a couple of days ago we had an SUV take us from the airport to the only hotel in Kulusk. From there, [View Full Entry]

I just heard the terrible news about the rioting in Lhasa. I have no idea if things will have settled by the time I am supposed to fly into Tibet. Time will tell and there is nothing I can do except hope that peace prevails. The Tibetans have kept their cool (pretty much) for 50 years; can't blame them for "being done" with the whole thing. Watch; wait: pray if you do so. Peace. Cindy [View Full Entry]

In August, my brother Aage and I went to Greenland for 10 days. We went to Kangerlussuaq, Sisimiut and Nuuk and it was a fantastic trip. Unfortunately for me my camera didn't like the climate up there but I did manage to take some photos and here is a selection of them. The most fantastic part of the trip was when we was visiting the icecap. [View Full Entry]

Greenland - anything but green, but a land of extremes to say the least. Word has it that back in the day when Denmark was trying to populate its new territory, they tried to convince settlers that this was a good place to settle, hence the lush sounding name. And as for Iceland, the inhabitants there already had the population they needed and so as to try and keep it for themselves, they chose a name that sounded harsh and uninviting. Apparently, it didn’t work out all that well for Denmark, today Greenland is home to only about 50000 inhabitants, with [View Full Entry]

Greenland?? Well who would have thunk it. Not I, not this year. With finally getting back to work later than expected, I was anticipating an entire summer out in wild places around the Yukon. But the company I work for had more than just that in mind. But before getting into that let me elaborate slightly on the highlights of my first month of work in central Yukon. I was working up between Carmacks and Dawson on a helicopter fly-drill looking for gold in some very steep hillsides. I was in a great camp which, on one occasion deemed it a [View Full Entry]

If you are thinking of traveling to southern Greenland, I suggest brushing up on your Spanish. Who knew that Greenland would be such a popular adventure destination for Spaniards? At almost every point on my Greenlandic journey, I ran into adventure tour groups from Spain. Perhaps drawn by the cooler summer climes of the far north? But beyond the Spanish invasion, Greenland proved an almost indescribable adventure and a fitting conclusion to my Viking themed voyage. Of a historical bent, I was able to stand amidst the ruins of the first Greenlandic Norse farmstead, Brattahlid, founded by the intrepid Icelander Eirik [View Full Entry]

Excerpt of the Rev. H. Nigel Fox Jr. Travel Journal Entry 20 -- Kristland It was late Spring when I decided to ask for Norah's hand in marriage. We had been growing ever closer as we worked together on her 'quest'. Passing so much time in each other's company, it had been amazing to me that neither of us seemed to tire of the other. Sipho had spent most his time with the crew, so for the most part we had been alone. At first I had been the perfect gentleman, indulging only in hand holding. Our passion for each [View Full Entry]
