Happy New Year! ❄️💙 The last days have been a bit of a rollercoaster weather-wise, and we are still trying to adjust. By the end of 2019 we had a nice and stable layer of sea-ice to travel on all around Ittoqqortoormiit (see the last videoclip). Perfect for dogsledding! 🐕 But then, a few days ago, we woke up to open water. Climate change is a reality. 😔 So, it's back to boating and travelling along the coast for now. Nature rules! 💨🌨️ We simply have to learn to adjust and make the best out of our increasingly warmer and unpredictable arctic winter. 🇬🇱 At least there's still plenty of snow! 😊❄️
Merry Christmas! ❤️🎄 Come and have a look inside one of my workplaces here in Greenland! ➡️ I've worked as an organist in Ittoqqortoormiit for the last 13 years. 😊🎹 As usual, the last weeks have been a busy time for me, and I've spent many hours in this beautiful wooden church building. Preparing, practicing and playing the organ at services, choir meetings,... 🎹🎼⭐In a way, this building almost feels like a second home to me by now! ❤️ This place has witnessed so much joy - and pain - throughout the last 90+ years. 🙏🇬🇱❄️ I hope it will continue to do so, for many years to come. 🎶🔥 And now, I'm ready to get outside into the wide open spaces, while the light slowly returns to the Arctic! 🐕
Yesterday morning around 7.30 am, a polar bear crossed the street close to the bridge into Ittoqqortoormiit. 😲 The bear helped himself to some dogfood stored in a wooden box right behind a team of screaming sled dogs. 🐕 - Our local ranger made the bear go away and followed it down onto the sea-ice on a skidoo, to make sure it would not come back again. ❄️ Unfortunately, in the dark, he ended up on thin ice. The skidoo broke through the ice and sank. 😯 The ranger survived! The owner of the dogs ran out onto the ice, to help him get into safety. 💪 Such bravery! 💙 Ingkasi is pointing to the polar bear's tracks in the snow from when it came into town. Further behind are the tracks it made when running away.
Our future home 💙😊 and the very last glimpse of the sun for the remaining year (pictures taken on the 18th). We have been working on cleaning, fixing and painting the house nearly every day for the last 3 weeks. 🔧 🏠 Looking forward to finishing up and moving in, very soon! 😄 #ittoqqortoormiit #ittoqqortoormiitliving #home #greenland #greenlandichouse #eastgreenland #arcticliving #smallhouseliving #smallhouse #smallhome
Home 💙 ❄️➡️ we moved our dogs to a different location today, while the sun rose ... and set. 🌅 Bundles of energy! 🐕😉 #greenland #greenlanddog #greenlandoutside #arcticsunset #lifeisbestoutside #getoutside #november #eastgreenland #ittoqqortoormiit #ittoqqortoormiitliving
We finally got some snow! ❄️😊 My favourite bench 😉 yesterday, around noon. #ittoqqortoormiit #eastgreenland #greenlandoutside #groenland #grønland #home
