Ilulissat Greenland March 2020

[@krystiansieminski8060]

Rocks and snow, in March, o boy, and cold too, nice place for look out. TH

[@hayley8464]

Wow, so beautiful and peaceful! I love the colorful houses and the snow! Thank you for sharing!

[@新チャン-o7u]

懐かしい街並みしばらくぶりに見て思い出しています！ もう20年近く前に約半年ずつ3年間通いました。 冬は船から毎日のごとくオーロラを見ていました。 夏場には蚊が多くあちこち食われて難儀しました。 犬の数が住人よりも多く飼われていましたね。 夏場にはここに在る氷河から1日に100万トンのICEの流失があるとの事でした！ TITANIC号もこの氷河でNF　CANADA沖で沈没しましたね。 エビ、カニの宝庫でズワイガニの、CHIONOECETES OPLIOという学名は 確か17世紀？にDENMARK の女性科学者によって命名されています。

Looks lovely and beautiful. I especially liked the bit where the man came out on his snow sled and he was being dragged along across the road on his snow sled by dogs LOL!😂🤣 that was funny.

[@ajandrade1]

Thank you for sharing the video. I wouldn’t imagine how big is Ilulissat 😮 ❤

[@freudsigmund72]

nice to get a first person impression. will check if it is real in three weeks myself.

[@astrogirl3121]

I’m English but live in Australia and I love what I’ve seen of Greenland so far. Love your town, it’s so colourful. I follow Nuuk live stream of the airport and have always wondered what the other towns further north are like. I would love to visit your beautiful country but too old now. Thank you for bring this great tour of IIuIissat to us.

love from india sooo peaceful and beautifil place

[@piotrbajkowski3352]

I spent a great time (few days) there in 2004. I found Greenland so beautiful, clean and still. But I couldn't stand the winter months.

[@gaabajensen9330]

I totally understand you! 😆 But the winter in these last years have been so warm. Like only - 20 degrees celsius or above. We have not the weather that we use to had for 10 years ago. The climate is changing.

The fishing must be awesome there.👏👍❤️

[@donmadden7413]

I am sooooo in love with Greenland. Never been, but the history fascinates me. I just have to get there. Love all the videos.

[@groeisterk]

Awesome, thx. What drives the economy, so many houses, what do people work. Dont u use garages for cars. Plenty cars outside

[@gaabajensen9330]

Yeah, we park our cars outside all year around. There are only few rich people who has garage in their houses. Fishing makes the most of income for the city. There are many fishermen here.

[@stanislavkostarnov2157]

nice mood very beautifully captures the colorfully artic beauty of Greenland... PS. with the serene mountain landscapes at the beginning, it would have been great to enjoy everything at live(x1) speed, but, its always the artists choice...

[@gaabajensen9330]

Thanks for your comment! And I will use your advice next time I make a video like this one 👍

[@erichsh58]

You can play videos at 1/2 or 1/4 speed in KZbin. I like the faster speed because I can always slow down or freeze scenes I want to check out in more detail.

[@Marchant2]

On the surface, it looks like the standard of living here is a bit higher than it is in Nuuk.

[@zvonimircrnogorac6158]

So beautiful town, I wish to be there!

[@gaabajensen9330]

It is! It really is nice to be here!

[@MrDavidTiller]

Wow! If its the third largest city the population density of Greenland must be very low. I like it!

[@gaabajensen9330]

Yes, it is! And we love it as well!

[@airplane800]

I imagine that people are friendly and you probably have many friends. I live on a big town in the US and I always feel lonely. Thanks for the video. Very peaceful and nice.

[@gaabajensen9330]

Excacly. It is normal that many people know each other here in Greenland. Not just here, but almost in every city/town in Greenland.

[@mndsph4530]

As someone from a distant land I would love to try visiting such place and learn from its geography and people sometime soon. Warmth, from the tropical Philippines!

[@ninacantey7872]

Beautiful city, not crowded together. How sad to live where there are no trees.

[@hectorgurrola8106]

If I had a connection with someone to live there I would not think twice😃

[@anandv1770]

Thanks for sharing, very refreshing during current situation :). Me and my wife were here in September 2019. We have travelled many countries but haven't seen better place than this till now. Gone were those golden days, not sure if we can make it up once again :( .

[@gaabajensen9330]

Thanks! Finally our contry is opening up again for other countries now, and some people from other countries has begun to arrive and explore the nature of Ilulissat. You sure can come again and enjoy our country in the future.

Okay. Our country opens up normally this tuesday, and all the things you must have to get here is negative test for covid-19 and a electronic travel confirmation to our country.

[@OlHa1972]

tusen takk for en flott oppvisning! Elsker Grønland, er ofte på snapchat kart og " besøker" Grøndland, og håper en dag jeg får lov å komme dit også, i etterkorona tid. Jeg bor selv på øy, en av Lofoten øyer, og er litt misunnelig for hvor mye snø dere har!

[@carolynvitor]

What is the coldest temperature there in winter time?

[@gaabajensen9330]

Temperature is changing in the last 15 years, sometimes is around -20°C, sometimes -30 to -40°C. But the extreme cold winters are over.

Return visit here wondering if all is OK with the new volcanic activity. Are many homeless, is help on the way?

[@gaabajensen9330]

Sorry for answering very late.. but I am wondering what volcanic activity are you talking about? Do you mean Iceland?

[@jimbojet8728]

Looks like a fun town?

[@gaabajensen9330]

Yeah, it's allright 😊

[@oscarbosio9881]

Cuantos habitantes tiene? Me gusta la ciudad, a pesar del clima extremo la vida se desarrolla en forma normal, varios hoteles por lo que se nota que es un lugar bastante visitado por turistas, lindos paisajes y muy extendida, seguramente por la geografía del lugar. Muy bueno el video y Saludos desde Santa Fe Argentina donde a diferencia de Uds el Corona nos está acechando.

[@gaabajensen9330]

Sorry for the late answer. There is about 4500 - 5000 people in Ilulissat. But they are building a new big airport, and people started moving here because of that. So the city is growing.

[@oscarbosio9881]

@@gaabajensen9330 Muchas gracias. O sea que para los parámetros de Groenlandia es una población muy importante y en crecimiento.

[@russbowman6801]

Looks like a good social life would be important, and church ought to be part of it all. What else is there to do? Party, read, go to the movies, fish, hunt?

[@gaabajensen9330]

Yes it is important, the church as well. There is a bar where musicians play music in the weekend wich is called Naleraq. There are hotel bars/restaurant that serves food, beer and cocktails. There is a local small movie theater that shows limited requested new movies. Then there is the nature that you can explore with help from local guides. Many likes Jan Cortsen and Ilulissat Tours.

Hello Shelley. I am glad to hear that you are going to visit our city. Unfortunately I will be travelling in Europe in that time. I hope that you will find a family that will show you our culture. There is local guides that you can find on facebook who's willing to show you that you want to see.
