I love Greenland greetings from Czech Republic 🇨🇿🇬🇱

[@the5worldexplorers]

We do too!!! Greetings to you!!!

[@tomashlavacek8355]

Greenland is the best country for living.

[@the5worldexplorers]

It is beautiful, are you from there?

[@Leahshappy]

I’m actually from Greenland

[@andyantonioap]

Coming from the UK I think it would be a little too cold. The UK can be very cloudy and wet also.

[@godslampe]

That little cemetery along our Main Street is not in the “middle of town”. It was in use as a cemetery from 1933 to about 1964. In those days Nuuk was much smaller. Before WWII, less that 800 people lived in Nuuk, by 1964 the number had grown to about 3000. The entire town in the 1930s was primarily located around to old colonial harbour, the cemetery being outside on the town area. The city of Nuuk effectively grew up around the cemetery, which is not in use today. As of March 2024 Nuuk has a current population of 19,800.

[@the5worldexplorers]

Thanks for sharing this interesting historical insight about Nuuk! It's fascinating how the town has evolved over the years.

[@kristian-peternoahsen6458]

Thank you for your message, you can't imagine how much it means to us. We loved being there also if for a short time, there was so much we didn't know and it is important to see, learn and respect other ways of life

The gray house. Below the Church of Our Saviour. Is the house of the Danish State's Ombudsman. Which is the highest authority in Greenland. Who is responsible for jurisdiction over those areas. Such as the Police, the High Court, the Danish Navy. And the gray house also houses the royal couple when they are visiting Greenland.

[@the5worldexplorers]

You know I can see how it can be boring for who lives there, you are used to everything that is amazing for us because it is your normality just like our home country can feel a bit boring to us because we have known it all our life. Thank you for your honesty ❤️

It's in the 20th century. Inuit Kalaallit get taste of European/Danish lifestyle and food. And there are no better to wear Inuit clothing in the winter. It is much warmer than the Europeanian cloth. And Inuit cloth is more expensive to get than European cloth.

[@the5worldexplorers]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It's important to recognize the value of traditional clothing and how it plays a significant role in the culture and lifestyle of the Inuit.

[@treedeblue]

The day a Polar bear walks the streets of Nuuk will be a telling time.

[@the5worldexplorers]
