We spent the whole day in the Capitol of Greenland..NUUK. A city of OVER 20,000 and still growing rapidly. Everyplace we looked there were cranes, bulldozers, and so much digging and planning. It was rainy steady, but we decided to go explore anyway. The city bus dropped us off in the older part of town, and we ambled around all over and saw the national museum which was incredible with artifacts and information from the early days of mankind. There is so much to learn about these ancient people.Denmark totally supports Greenland with health coverage, subsidized living and schools. All the signs are in Danish and Inuit. The fishing industry in Greenland is responsible for much of the fish we eat in America. There are hardly any single houses here…most are apts. no garages, no lawns, no flowerbeds. Today everything looked bleak in the fog and rain…… but these populations are outdoor people and used to extreme weather.
