After an intense summer and a very short autumn, winter is here!
Since I´ve neglected this blog for a while, I still have some summer-pictures to share. So, let`s go back in time…
In the last 2 weeks of august, my husband and I spend 10 days in the Scoresby Sund, the largest fjord system in the world. I had been looking forward to those days for a long time.
After short breaks at Danmark Ø and Ankervig/Hjørnedal we pitched our tent at Harefjord, and ended up staying there for 5 days.
Reindeer antlers, buried in the ground.
We took a bath in a lake, not far away from a flock of musk ox.
This was a perfect summer day.
GREENland 🙂 a feast for my eyes!
We collected some qiviut – musk ox wool.
These incredible soft fibers will some day end up in a hat or scarf!
A peaceful evening at Harefjord.
This plant was catching mosquitos!
After a few warm and sunny days, it rained for an entire day.
Next morning, the mountaintops were covered by snow, and the air was a bit chilly. Clearly, summer was coming to an end … and we decided to move on.

Bathing in the lake must have been a little chilly, no? Great photos as always Ruth!
Thank you Rosh! Yes, it was a little chilly, so we didn`t stay in the water for very long 🙂
Besutiful. How did you get there? By boat? I was in the fjord in 2007. Great Great experience!
Thanks, Ulla, yes, we got there by boat. We have a 19-foot open motorboat. Did you get there on the big boat Nanu Travel owned, back in 2007?
Hej Ruth og Ingase,
Tak for de smukke fotos fra Harefjord! Den insektædende plante hedder Vibefedt på dansk, Common Butterwort på engelsk, tikiusamarkat på grønlandsk og undirløgugras (se eventuelt http://www.ksla.se/anh/files/2013/03/Vibefedt.pdf)
Hej Arne, spænnende at du kunne give os navnet på planten, enda på flere sprog 🙂 Qujanar!
underløgugras på færøsk
When I read “…Scoresby Sund, the largest fjord system in the world.”, my first thought was “Really?” I keep forgetting how huge Greenland is. Thanks for sharing so many photos on this blog beyond the typical travelogue variety.
Thanks, Dan, – and yes, the Scoresby Sund is the largest and longest fjord system in the world. Not many people know that. It is a huge area. Although I`ve been in the fjord many times by know, there`s still a lot I haven`t seen yet!
