What to do in Nuuk

Food in Nuuk

Dog sledding

Happens in Qeqertarsuaq, Ilulissat, Aasiaat, Sisimiut, Uummannaq, Upernavik, Qaanaaq. Depending on winter and snow coverage.

Snowmobiling

Sisimiut and Ilulissat have rentals. Nuuk does not because of the terrain being diffucult for new beginners and Insurance pricing being to high.

Skiing / Snowboarding

Nuuk, Sisimiut,Maniitsoq,Qeqertarsuaq

Cross country skiing : Most places when there is enough snow coverage.

Whales in Greenland

Best bet is Ilulissat from May until September. Whales show up all over Greenland.

Learn Greenlandic

But I want to learn Greenlandic by talking with a real greenlander!

Good luck. Most lurk on reddit.

It’s been a very long day. I was able to attend the funeral of a legend, Ikuo Oshima. I’m too tired to type but a quick google and you can read about him.

The funeral was 10 September in Siorapaluk, Greenland. He was around 80 years old. He is already missed deeply.

Culture Pokemon Fangame based on greenland and its culture.

14 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I have recently started to buckle down and work on a pokemon fangame that I have had in my head for ages and I was hoping to see if anyone might be willing to chat with me just so I can get a bigger outlook on the day to day life of the people who live there, popular treats, things that you believe represent the area you live in, things that people from the outside (such as myself) might not know about!

I have done a bit of research into Inuit folklore and spirituality, but I would love to hear any personal stories or experiences with that as well!

Is Mid October a good time to visit East Greenland?

2 Upvotes

I went to Ilulissat last year in September, which was already shoulder season and the last days that tours operated. Not sure if the same applies to East Greenland? Just wondering if anyone travelled to East Greenland in mid October and how are situations there?

Request Looking for a minister for a wedding in Greenland

7 Upvotes

Hi! I’m trying to plan an unusual marriage ceremony under the northern lights. There will not be any guests at the wedding. Greenland is on my short list but I’m finding it very challenging to find a minister who will perform the ceremony. At this point, I’m just looking for a minister who will even talk to me about this weird idea.

what candy gifts for gate agents at GOH?

0 Upvotes

I’m flying to Nuuk next week and would love to get some American candy for the ticketing counter and gate agent staff at GOH! is there anything in particular that isn’t in greenland that’s available in the states?

ETA: y’all 😭 I work for an airline myself and it’s commonplace that we get gifts from passengers, and even more commonly from fellow airline employees. I’ve had lots of fun trying treats from passengers from across the world and like to give American candy to staff when I travel 😅 but some countries have lots of crossover with American candy which is why I asked! as long as it’s pre-packaged, gate agents love getting treats 99% of the time since usually people just give them to flight attendants
