5 day trip to South Greenland

Five days exploring the coast, mountains, fjords, bays and settlements of Narsarsuaq, Narsaq, and Qagssiarsuk.

Flying into Narsarsuaq, formerly US Air Base "Blue West One" Jette, from Denmark, was our guide for five days The fjords were full of icebergs, calved from the glaciers Mateo, captain of the Polar Fox, took us out on two boat excursions A visit to Qagssiarsuk, which means "strange little creek" in Greenlandic Blue house, blue berg Mad drunk in Narsaq harrassed me at 8 a.m. They have bullies in Greenland too Narsaq scenes... On the way to the Twin Glaciers... Our destination Touching the inland ice cap Back in Narsaq... Ice left ashore at low tide No two Greenland towns connect by road; helicopters are important Love in the afternoon King guards the porch On the foggy Dyrnaes Peninsula Mist covers the bay I climbed Tasigaaq, a ~600m peak behind Narsaq. View from the top I took the "easy" way down - well, it looked easy from the top We chartered a helicopter to get back to Narsarsuaq View from the chopper...limited by fog I hitched a ride to the dump...filled with planes, skimobiles, trucks... ...a bus... ...and a 1950 VW Beetle. Needs TLC. View over Greenland's inland ice cap on my flight back to NY from Iceland.
