On my way from Holland to Puerto Rico, last December, I saw a cloudless Greenland. Some pics from this spectacular piece of the world:

Holy crap, imagine just jumping out of the airplane into that tundra. Scary stuff.

great pictures. not many people can say that they've seen greenland.

those "rivers of ice" are probably glaciers.

amazing pictures.

mmmmm, I'm craving for an ice cream....

Nice pics. I've seen Greenland for several times too. That glacier on photo 7 is amazing!!

Amazing photos, reminds me of Norway 10 000 years ago! ;)

Wow... look at all that green in Greenland ;) You know not all of Greenland is ice and snow! Pretty much all along the eastern, southern, and western coast/border, it's ice/snowfree (in the summer) and can even get "up to" +10 degrees :)

Anyway, thanks for showing us a part of Denmark not too many people have seen before :okay:

^^Jep...And it is very beautiful in the sun...

surreal...

Greenland is really green in the Southernmost tip, the rest is mostly glacier and packed ice.

funny how greenland is all snow, and iceland is all green lollll

beautiful none the less :D

Amazing! It reminds me of when we flown over Alaska and I really love pic #10. :D

Wonderful pics of Greenland!
Pity me for my ignorance, but is there any sign of civilization in Greenland?

It's not much.. But what do you expect, from a province with a population of only 56,000 ;)

Kalaallit Nunaat, meaning "the humans' Land", still in English that is Greenland or Grønland in Danish. Thank you very much for these pics - I have never been/seen. Are the last two pictures taken in Nuuk (Godthåb), the capital?

/\ to be honest, i have no clue :) I would guess so...

Impressive !

And to think scientists reckon that we may be close to setting of an inexorable melting of the country. Madness.

there's no way those 2 photos are of Nuuk, the capital. it is a modern city of around 15 000 people where construction just finished on a 9-story building downtown, making it the tallest building in the country.

Some pics of Nuuk:

wa wo...God's power!

it's no ordinary capital!

I think it looks cool :) I wouldn't mind visiting it one day, when theres no snow around.

How is it possible to live there? I would move to any EU country instead of living there.

I hope one day I will have the chance to visit Grønnland... I think it is fascinating.

It wouldn't be THAT bad :) Economy wise, they're doing pretty good (compared to their size), making around $20,000 US on average (a year)..

When it comes to weather, and architecture, the place does kinda suck :D

looks cool

What do people do there?

/\ what do you mean?

They do exactly what normal people in the western world do... they work, play sports, go to school, go to church, fish, hmm..

wonderful scenery, possibly one of the last truly natural spots remaining on the planet.
