48 Hours in Greenland 2019: Inuits, Icebergs and Insane Hikes
48 Hours in Greenland - Icebergs, Colorful Houses and Fjord Adventures
No, Greenland is not for sale, but it is open for business and well worth the trip!
A real dream for any traveler, Greenland is one of the most remote and mysterious countries on Earth. We got lucky enough to visit it in September and were absolutely stunned by this untouched country and its colorful capital Nuuk.
From the vast beauty of its beautiful landscapes to the joys of fishing your own dinner, through the discovery of ancient settlements and the cutest houses in the world, here’s our full guide to 48 Hours in Greenland.
48 Hours in Greenland | Day 1: Downtown Nuuk, Colorful Houses and Big Malene
With a direct Greenland Air flight to Nuuk from Copenhagen or Reykjavik, the Greenlandic capital is an absolute must-do when visiting Scandinavia and Northern Europe.
After our arrival in Nuuk and check-in in the Hotel Hans Egede, we headed off to discover downtown Nuuk and the beautiful colorful houses we saw so many pictures about.
Since Nuuk is small, we did all of downtown Nuuk on foot, from our hotel.
We started off visiting the Nuuk Cathedral, which is a tribute to the Christian influence on the nation, since the Inuits had different beliefs before Denmark settlements. The Cathedral is built in a similar Lutheran style compared to Icelandic churches - really worth the detour!
Right next to the Cathedral, we could visit the Nuuk National Museum and Cultural Center, which taught us a lot about Greenland, since in true Jeff and Anne fashion, we came without knowing much! Greenland has a long history of settlements, from the first Inuit settlers to the Danish in the last two centuries.
Dated to around 1475 AD, the oldest human remains found in Greenland are from Inuit mummies - we saw them in the museum, and warning, they’re quite chilling.
A little over the Museum you will find the famous Kolonihavn area, with its collection of wooden Inuit traditional houses, with an urban landscape filled with an amazing array of bright colors, from deep yellow to bright orange, from neon green to electric blue. What a view!
In the afternoon we attempted the summit of Big Malene, located in the most popular outdoor region of Nuuk, Quassussuaq.
The 2,493-foot-tall (761 m) Store Malene/Big Malene is a solid hike up to the peak, offering a great view of Nuuk, Akia (Nordlandet), Sermitsiaq and the Kangerluarsunnguaq Fjord with its spectacular glaciers.
All hiking trails are marked, the Big Malene being recognizable with its orange markings on the rocks alongside the trail.
You can take this hike with a guide, which we would recommend, however we attempted it on our own, being last minute as usual.
In dry weather, the ascent is pretty straightforward, albeit fairly difficult, but we attempted it with fog and rain and had to stop half way through due to too many slippery rocks. But we will be back, we said!
Since we couldn’t climb all the way up to Big Malene, we decided to go back and hike Lille Malene/Little Malene, around the same spot and offering impressive views of Nuuk, Akia, the surrounding regions and the spectacular sea.
Following this time the green markings on the rocks, we hiked around the lake for a couple hours, this time in dry weather!
Tip: The water in the streams is clean and drinkable! Bring a mug or bottle to scoop the water up with.
These two hikes are really the best outdoors trails to follow if you don’t have a car around Nuuk - accessible via bus number 1 from downtown Nuuk for 16 krones each (about $2.5), stopping in Qinngorput and heading from there. Our hotel had a hiking map of Nuuk which was also very helpful!
We took 2 boat tours during this trip, both with Nuuk Water Taxi in an open boat, with full life suits (did you see our video?).
The first tour was an amazing fishing and eat-your-own-fish boat tour, bringing us an hour boat ride away outside of Nuuk in Qooqqut Nuan to fish our dinner. We both caught fished in less than a minute in 65-meters deep water (brrr) and were brought to the unique restaurant on the island for them to cook it for us. Can’t beat it! The dinner was delicious, complete with soup, steamed and fried fish and rice, potatoes and vegetables.

Greenland Migrating
Henning Larsen Architects has developed the project 'Greenland Migrating' in collaboration with David Garcia Studio and KITAA Architects for the Danish pavilion at the 13th International Architecture Exhibition in Venice. The project has aimed to develop a strategy for the Greenland town of Ilulissat. Migration is a natural part of Greenland's history but increased tourism and potential mineral exploration can cause a migration flow that might turn the Greenlandic population into a minority in their own country.
????Top Places To Visit In Greenland in 2019????
Greenland, an autonomous nation within the Kingdom of Denmark, can truly be said to be a world apart. The population numbers less than 60,000 in this, the most sparsely populated country and the largest non-continental island on Earth.
Bearing the climate in mind, transport here is somewhat unusual. There are virtually no roads between towns, so if you want to explore, it will be by boat, airplane, sled, or snowmobile. In fact, you'll find that some of the best things to do in Greenland are active ones: dog sledding, snowmobiling, hiking, walking on the ice cap, and traveling its waters by boat.
Explore this fascinating land with the help of our list of the top tourist attractions in Greenland.

Climate change and the preservation of archaeological sites in Greenland
Jørgen Hollesen1, Henning Matthiesen2
1NATIONAL MUSEUM OF DENMARK, 2UNIVERSITY OF COPENHAGEN
Archaeological sites in Greenland represent an irreplaceable record of extraordinarily well-preserved material remains covering
more than 4000 years of human history. Out of the more than 6000 registered sites very few have been excavated and it is anticipated that thousands of sites are still to be discovered in the many unexplored parts of the country. Therefore, the potential of archaeological sites in Greenland to provide further spectacular findings is considered extremely high. However, the climate is changing rapidly in Greenland leading to accelerated degradation of the archaeological sites. Since 2009 the National Museum of Denmark and Greenland and the University of Copenhagen have been collaborating in order to obtain an improved understanding of the link between climate change and the preservation of archaeological sites in Greenland.
In this presentation we will give examples of how permafrost thaw, coastal erosion, increased vegetation and farming are threatening to destroy archaeological sites in Greenland. We will show the results from our decay studies were we have investigated how different organic materials respond to environmental changes. Finally we will present our future research plans and elaborate on how we aim to develop new methods for locating sites at risk – using both high tech solutions (Remote sensing, UAV and GIS models) and low tech solutions where local residents are involved in surveys and excavations.
Kæmpekrater fra kilometer-stor jernmeteor fundet i Grønland
Et internationalt forskerhold med deltagelse af forskere støttet af Carlsbergfondet har opdaget et gigantisk meteorkrater på 31 kilometer i diameter under Indlandsisen i Nordgrønland. Det er første gang, at et krater af den størrelse er fundet under en af Jordens iskapper.
I tre år har forskerholdet, der blandt andet tæller forskere fra Center for GeoGenetik på Statens Naturhistoriske Museum under Københavns Universitet, arbejdet på at bekræfte opdagelsen, og i går blev den så publiceret i det internationale anerkendte tidsskrift Science Advances.
