Wednesday 27 July - Arriving in Nuuk - Greenland's capital city

 My afternoon flight to Nuuk was only delayed by about 45 minutes so that by the time it took off at 4pm, the fog down the coast was fully cleared and, with my 1A window seat secured, we had some great views or the wilderness, albeit through the propeller.

Note the milky blue of the silt-laden glacier meltwater rivers compared to the dark blue of the myriad scattered lakes

Our first view of a glacier making its way down to the sea.

The fjords around Nuuk are stunning in fine weather. The white dots in the water are little ice bergs.

Here is a link to a short video of the approach to Nuuk, Greenland's largest city - with a current population of just under 19,000. Although birth rates are low, the city's population is predicted to double through immigration from smaller settlements, with huge development ongoing, including the construction of a large new international airport (video link below) which will undoubtedly not be good for Kangerlussuaq...  Fans of Kangerlussuaq point at the daily flight cancellations to/from Nuuk due to weather. Hopefully all the necessary homework has been done!

Although he wasn't with me, I had clear directions to Rasmus's flat and with the help of Soren, a Greenlandic 'cheeky chappy' cabbie who wouldn't be out of place (... well much...) on London's Old Kent Road, located it without a hitch.
