South Greenland - Beyond the Ice

Southern Greenland is much more than a pretty flyby - this video gives you a taste of what is on offer on the ground, from scenic mountains and icebergs to the wonderful colours of summer in South Greenland's main town, Qaqortoq.
Best when viewed in HD.
Filmed in and around the town of Qaqortoq, July 2010. This video first aired on Greenlandic national tv (KNR.gl) on Dec 2nd, 2010.
Thank you to everyone who helped during filming. Thanks for the inspiration; O'Hara & Silis.
Filmed in 1080i on Sony equipment, uploaded as 720p. Sound recorded and mixed in stereo.

Greenland is now literally a green land

I am amazed to see how much Greenland has changed for the best. I was stationed there in 1968. Too bad I am old to return there and see this nice place again. I am happy for the natives .

The beauty of their place is quiet away from the smoke of the car. And also the amount of fish in them is fresh. That's when I got to greenland

It is hard to believe Greenland or Kalaallit Nunnat is so beautiful , so lively . In my childhood I learnt a little about the country . I formed an idea that the country is covered with snow entirely and inhabited by the Eskimos using dog-drawn wheelless cars over snow and kayak on water and living on meat available from seals , polar bears and so on . But the picture has changed altogether . Now it is peopled by a generation that prefers to be known as Greenlanders speaking Greenlandic belonging to the Eskimo language family . They are almost like us and are very hard-working and energetic . I am all along interested in Greenland . In my early career I had correspondence with the Royal Danish Embassy in our country and they used to supply to me a lot of informations on the development of the country . I made correspondence even with Nuuk capital of the country to quench my thirst . This video delights me extremely and I become thrilled , excited and overwhelmed with excessive joy when I watch it on youtube . With hot love from a small town of India .

Canada and Greenland are not similar in temperature and landscape. Greenland is to unfriendly land in term of life and diversity of life. You die or you live, that's why Greenland have so many unpurporsely died peaple, lower than Canada but people adapted from it in thousands of years.

I've always been told there are NO trees in Greenland. Apparently this is not true since there obviously are some trees featured in this video, in the yards of homes. 🎄

[@inukjorgensen]

A lot has happened on that front with in the last few decades. Both due to the ease of importing trees and due to a warming climate, which lets the bushes grow taller into (almost) tree like statures.
