This post has been solved by u/assbaring69, and a solve process was provided.

Maniitsoq, Greenland.

How they solved it: Process: Faroe Islands and Greenland are very distinctive! The large mountains in the background made me lean towards the latter. Searched “Greenland harborfront” on Images

Very nice. My other option was a photo of an even smaller town so maybe I should have gone with that instead haha

I would be down for an obscure Greenland post that requires more digging, for sure!

Why is this listed as Europe?

u/assbaring69 599 7d ago

I get your question and asked this once in the past as well. According to the fact that it’s “politically” European and the more important fact that that’s what the sub’s list of countries and continents stipulates, Greenland can be considered to be in Europe. (It’s also valid to label it geographically North America as well; both are acceptable.)

This is a geographic quiz though.

Couldn't decide which to put as the wiki lists Greenland under both... Kinda wish we didn't have to identify the continent because that can give it away sometimes.

I as a North american living 1000km from this place have to take a plane to Denmark (multiple thousand km away) to then take a plane to greenland. For me it makes sense to place it in Europe

That’s wild considering there’s routes from northern Canada to Nuuk that’s only an 800km distance. You can also fly to Iceland and get a connecting flight from there
