Thanks for the perspective of that small town. One thing I noticed, it is very clean of garbage and plastics . Interesting in those days for sure. Regards from Portugal

[@PortMonkeys]

Thank you very much!

We were on one of the first cruises to stop there a number of years ago. Schools were closed so they could meet us. It was wonderful

[@PortMonkeys]

That must have been really cool. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

Surprising how many trees grow there-I thought Greenland had no trees.

[@PortMonkeys]

We have a feeling they are not native to Greenland. People planted them. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

I learned that there are some forested valleys in the South...were thye planted as well?@@PortMonkeys

[@rais1953]

In the far south trees will grow if you plant them. There are some native trees in a valley on the southwest coast.

@@PortMonkeys These small trees are native AND planted. Thanks for the tour around my childhood town: I'm going there in 7 days for the first time in 20 years.

[@kunstnersjael]

@@PortMonkeys Oh, a few are of course imported from the other artic areas, maybe collected as seedlings from the plantage somewhere in the fiords...

Lol i lived in this town for about 8 years

[@PortMonkeys]

That must’ve been different. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

[@lukasisaksen8082]

Of course, if you have any questions about the town, just let me know. I've sinced moved away from greenland to Denmark.@@PortMonkeys

Do you remember what form of payment they accepted? Going in Sept. Not sure if they accept CC or need Krones.

[@PortMonkeys]

Unfortunately, we did not buy anything there. I think I remember them taking US dollars though. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

By chance did you see a pleasure boat anchorage area in the harbor?

[@PortMonkeys]

Yes. If you watch the photos at the very end of the video you will see it at 35:06. It also appears near the end of the video briefly behind the fish market. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

[@georgemaltese]

To be honest, it doesn’t seem that interesting from a historical perspective. I would probably do a tour.

[@PortMonkeys]

There really isn’t much in town. A tour might be a good idea. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

[@loishaffner9483]

The town was not built up as now

[@PortMonkeys]

It seemed pretty small to us still. It must’ve been really, really small.
