20240617-19 Monday - Wednesday Greenland
This page shows the three stops in Greenland, numbered in the diagram to the right according to HA's itinerary as of 1 March. The port schedules for the ports have a different schedule (3, 2, 1) I'll go with HA's order and fix it later if required. We will use tenders to go ashore in each of these port visits.
1. Qqqortoq.
2. Paamiut
3. Nanortalik
20240617 Thursday Qoqortoq (above, in autumn)
The largest city in southern Greenland is this one, formerly named Julianehab by the Danish. It has a nice website with great pictures of the area. The population ia around 3,000. But there's not a lot to be seen locally other than the spectacular scenery and some statuary.
We're scheduled just to hike around town and observe.
20240619 Saturday Nanortalik
Another small town that we'll do on our own. Wiki here. Visit Greenland page here.
Cafe 44 looks like an amiable place to visit.
20240620 At Sea
The Summer Solstice happens sometime today. However, we are below the Arctic Circle, so we won't have true 24-hour sunshine.
But as they say in Fairbanks, Alaska, we will have 24-hour "functional daylight" this date (and the others around Iceland and Greenland).
