Greenland - Summary

Having grown up in Israel, my only knowledge about Greenland before moving to Denmark was always quite limited, to say the least. I knew there was a place called Greenland and I could almost certainly find it on the map. I probably had some vague idea about people living there in igloos, but not much more. One of the first things I have learnt after coming to Denmark was that it is one of the largest countries in Europe due to its colonization of Greenland - the largest island in the world. With time I’ve heard more and more stories of Greenland – of the summer’s midnight-sun and of the long and dark winter months. I have heard of the biggest national park in the world, of frozen fjords and of gigantic icebergs.

Packing up, getting ready to go


This is it. My last day at work is behind me and now all there is left is to concentrate on travelling and enjoying myself. But during the last months I’ve been through so many special experiences, bad ones as well as wonderful ones, that I can’t just put it all behind me and go on as if nothing.
