How NOT To Travel to Greenland

Greenland is awesome. But there's little known about it from a travel standpoint. On today's video, I learned how not travel to Greenland, but also "Greenland is Epic".

    Oh to live on Sugar Mountain With the barkers and the colored balloons You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon You're leaving there too soon. Okay it's not Sugarloaf Mountain, but it's close, need to talk with Neil Young about that 🤣👍 The drone footage of the Glacier was cool👍👍

    Cool video :) Glad you enjoyed Kangerlussuaq. Just to let you and your viewers know, there are actually 3 smaller tour operators in Kangerlussuaq: Arctic Ice Tours (which Evald owns), Kang Mini Tours, and Tundra Adventures. As you mention in the video, there is also a large operator: Albatros Arctic Circle.

    13:09 The footage of the glaciers are mesmerizing, to think 100,000 years of memory are frozen there. Those northern lights are beautiful too, would love to see it face to face someday.

    I really enjoyed seeing this! I was stationed there on temporary duty for about 6 weeks with the US Air Force in the 80s when it was called Sondre Stromfjord. I was all of 19 years old at the time. We were able to convince someone from the base to drive us out to the glacier where I shot a few images on film. The sands around the fjord are quicksand and we were warned to stay out of them, and I did witness an empty wooden cable spool discarded from one of the Air Force units drifting down the fjord and sinking slowly as it flowed. There were also wonderful fossil beds somewhere off the ends of the runway. Cheers!

    16:54 watching all that water flowing down the waterfall makes me wonder how long ago that same water fell as snow to form part of the glacier.

    Always a fun game, isn't it? The real answer is likely boring. It's a mix of top-level newly fallen snow that melted on the surface, and millions-years old water :D

    Do the Musk Oxen and Reindeer know about the land mines? An adventure to be sure. Great drone imagery, nice to have that access. Patagonia should think about issuing permits for some extra pesos. MIght be a winner. Maybe they're listening, eh? Carry on! 👍🥂
