Have you ever encountered these wonders of nature?

Today, I'm delving into the fascinating world of icebergs here in Greenland. Each type tells a unique story of Greenland's icy landscape, from the airy white ice to the dense and mysterious black ice. Did you know there are five types? 🐻💙❤️🇬🇱🧊
🐾
1. White Ice - These are the younger icebergs, filled with air bubbles that give them their white appearance. They're lighter than other types due to the trapped air. 2. Blue Ice - Older and more seasoned, blue ice has been journeying within the Greenland Ice Sheet for longer periods. It's often seen near the Southern glaciers. 3. Black Ice - With almost no air trapped inside, black ice is incredibly dense in water. It's beautiful yet poses a challenge, especially for ships. 4. Floating Ice Sheets - These sheets have traveled south along Greenland's East coast or may have broken off from fjords. They're massive and awe-inspiring. 5. Dirty Ice - Sometimes, icebergs carry a surprise on top—stones that rolled onto them when they were part of a glacier. It's a testament to their journey.

Look what washed up on the beach!
🐾
No, it's not Nanook my fluffy polar bear friend, but this gorgeous iceberg
🐾
I just love the smooth and slippy ice, I could spend all day sliding around on it. Although the ice and snow all around town is melting, giant icebergs still float around the archipelago, some of them are truly massive!

In this remote corner of the world a moment of profound serenity, where time itself seems to stand still in reverence to the majesty of nature and the wonder that exists, even in the harshest of environments

The best views comes after the hardest climbs 🐾

The best views comes after the hardest climbs
🐾
Some people have asked me 'What is there to do in Narsaq?' Well the simple answer is... Not a lot
🐾
The long answer would be to tell you about the fabulous nature and the huge array of hiking possibilities, when the snow is around there is cross country skiing and snow shoeing, again, all out in the nature. Sure you can travel to other towns and there might be a nice coffeeshop, or a sauna and I think in the summer there might be more touring options on boats to go fishing or perhaps go see a glacier up close
🐾
So that leads me to yesterdays adventure which was to climb the smaller of the two mountains directly behind my house. It's a little challenging with the snow, but doable in a few hours there and back with a cup of tea and a break at the summit. I was even able to see the ice cap from up there which is huge!
🐾
One of the things I loved about reaching the summit here was the number of stone cairns dotted all around, of course the biggest was at the very, very top
🐾
Do you like hiking? Getting to the top is optional. Getting down is mandatory 😂

I’ve been asked a few questions regarding the food situation here, so thought I’d tell you a little bit about it
🐾
There are two supermarkets here that offer pretty much the same food, one has more clothes and electronics than the other. One I also find slightly cheaper. One of them is state owned and one is a co-op
🐾
They are both more well stocked than I thought they would be. Almost everything is imported from Denmark but they do have a local meat section, with muskox, reindeer, beef, chicken and lamb as well as a local fish- and seafood section, sometimes they even offer seal
🐾
All meats sold are frozen, and the only fresh produce are vegetables and fruits, but they’re usually not that fresh and sometimes it's even a bit moldy. This section is also the smallest one in both of the supermarkets. There is usually lots of apples, potatoes and onions though
🐾
Prices here are similar to Sweden (which is quite expensive). Some things are cheaper, the local meats are really good quality and quite affordable for example
🐾
One thing that stands out for me here is the sales or weekly specials, they are great! Prices are very much cheaper than usual and you can get some really great deals. They also sell food with short expiration dates super cheap. I've found that I only buy food on sale or the specials to save money. Then my assistants invent what to eat based on that, so it’s quite different from how I'm used to planning the meals, but it’s fun and a bit of a challenge
🐾
There is also one restaurant here in Narsaq that serves thai and fast food, but I haven’t been there yet
🐾
Suprised? I know I was 🛒🛍️

Close up and personal with an iceberg 🐾 Today

Close up and personal with an iceberg
🐾
Today I took a walk out on to the sea ice to get a closer look at one of the icebergs that has arrived here
🐾
I couldn't believe the size of it, from the waters edge it looked quite small, but close up it was a towering block of clear blue ice. The colors were amazing and the smooth ice was cold and slippy
🐾
Icicles had formed where the sun had continued to melt the giant lump of ice during the day
🐾
The sea ice here is very thick, but, but this can change daily. My assistants were quite careful and carried with them some safety equipment, just in case 🐻💙❤️🧊🇬🇱

Hey Nanook, did you spot any family yet? 🐾 Fol

Hey Nanook, did you spot any family yet?
🐾
Folks have been asking me if I've seen any polarbears while I've been here, the answer is no (except Nanook of course). Polarbears are quite uncommon in these parts, having said that, a polarbear was spotted a few days ago in the neighbouring town of Qaqortoq (about 45km away by boat)
🐾
Many people probably think that the polar bear is widespread in Greenland, but they live primarily in the northern part of the country. However, you can sometimes experience them further to the south, where they may have been taken on an ice floe, which is broken off from the ice
🐾
Polar bears have incredibly large territories – one journal article states that female polar bears have a mean home range of over 100,000 km2 - which, coupled with their reliance on shifting sea ice and ability to swim long distances, means pinpointing the exact location of these carnivores in a country as large as Greenland is a difficult task
🐾
Better known in some regions as 'the king of the arctic', the Latin name of polar bear is 'ursus maritimus', which basically means 'bear from the sea'. In Greenland, they call it 'nanoq'
🐾
The polar bear is the largest bear in the world. Their fur gets its white color from hollow hair which is completely transparent. It keeps them warm and dry in the cold Arctic weather 🐻💙❤️🐻‍❄️

Brrr! It's getting chilly out here! ❄️
🐾
Folks have been asking me what's the weather been like here in South Greenland. This week it's been a maximum -3°C (26°F) during the day and down to -15°C (5°F) at night which has made it quite icey. As you can see, there's lots of snow around, so my new outfit has come in super handy
🐾
Bundling up in cozy layers is key to staying snug and toasty on a winter adventure like mine and I've also been very glad to have some mittens too!
🐾
Thank you @anchany for my pawesome gift, my new outfit is keeping me nice and warm here in Greenland 🔥
