Blogs from Greenland, North America - page 10

This is my final entry on Greenland, and we have kept the best for the end. The aim of this trip was to go dogsledging in Greenland, an adventure in itself. Ilulissat have 4,500 inhabitants, and 3,500 dogs, most of them, if not all of them are linked to dogsledging. Walk around Ilulissat little town, and you see dogs everywhere, some have a leash, some are rooming freely in the street. For this expedition, we chosed the 3 days, 2 nights trip. That was Hugues and I, our two greenlandic guides, and a total of 32 dogs for our 2 sledges. You can do 2 hours, 3 hours, 5 hours, 2 days, 3 days, 4 and 10 days trip. 4 days would have been great, but a little over our budget...Greenland is not a cheap place! ... read more

Repeat after me...We are flying to Kangerlussuaq! I know, you are going to ask me Kanger what? Well, if you are here you already know we are speaking of Greenland. But first I want to thank my friend Hugues for helping me to make this trip a reality. We have to thank few other people, but we will not name them here. Our last “boys” trip was exactly three years ago to Sydney. This time it would be less wine, and more cold weather. Kangerlussuaq is the main airport hub of Greenland. There are currently only 2 international flights to Greenland. The first one is on a small Dash aircraft twice a week from Reykjavik, and the second one, actually the main one is from Copenhagen. Air Greenland has only one A330 and few little Dash, ... read more

Weekend med slæde og langrend Hej igen. I kan tro, det har været nogle begivenhedsrige dage her i Sisimiut. Først og fremmest er det lykkes os at få et køleskab, der virker. Det holdt hårdt, men fredag aften fik vi ombyttet køleskabet. Og minsandten om det ikke virker denne gang. Utroligt, at det kan være så spændende, at et køleskab kan køle. Fredag aften havde vi gæster til X-factor. Tove (praktikant ved Socialforvaltningen), Jesper og Christine (Lars' kollega og hendes kæreste) kom og så Blachmann og Pernille Rosendal folde sig ud. Det var en rigtig hyggelig aften. Da alle var taget hjem, ringede Jesper og hørte, om vi ville med ud på en hundslædetur dagen efter - og dét ville vi da selvfølgelig gerne. Vi blev hentet lørdag til middag, og kom med ud og så ... read more

Så blev det blogtid igen Så blev det vist tid til en lille opdatering på bloggen igen. Der er ikke kommet noget system i, hvornår den bliver opdateret, men det bliver vist gjort løbende, når vi har noget på hjerte. Nu er der efterhånden gået små 3 uger, siden vi ankom, og dagen er allerede tiltaget med 3 timer! Da vi kom blev det først lyst omkring kl. 10.30 nu lysner det allerede kl. 9 om morgenen, og det bliver først helt mørkt omkring kl. 17.30. Det er ret fascinerende at opleve så markant en ændring i dagens længde stort set fra dag til dag - i Danmark kommer de lyse tider ligesom snigende. Siden vi er ankommet, er der faldet en hel del sne, og grønlænderne er efterhånden meget lettede over, at det endelig er ... read more
