Hvor kan man købe en "Personal Signal Launcher" i Nuuk?

Noget i stil med sådan en her: https://comet-marine.com/our-products/personal-signal-launcher/
Man kan købe en full blown signalpistol i Qalut, men den koster 5000 og er væsentlig tungere at slæbe rundt på, så kan man jo næsten lige så godt have en riffel med.

2024 Christmas in Nuuk - things to know?

Hi,

I'm planning to be in Nuuk for Christmas this year. And hoping someone can answer the below:

  1. What can I expect? Would the whole town shutdown?
  2. Are there Uber/Bus from airport into town?
  3. I learnt that you'd stay with locals. Any pointers?
  4. Things to do for four days?
  5. People to hangout with? Or make friends?
  6. Safe to drive a car in winter?
  7. Possibility of Northern lights?

It'd be great if anyone can give some inputs.

Walking from Nuuk Airport to Centre

Would be it be safe to walk from Nuuk Airport to Hotel SØMA this Wednesday, leaving the airport around 6PM. Or could it be dangerous because of bears and foxes? Thank you so much!

Hiking and polar bears

We are a couple travelling to Nuuk in the end of August. We want to take the trail to the top of the mountain near the airport (Quassussuaq), the path behind the mountain to Paradise Valley and maybe the path to Issikivik viewpoint.

I am worried about polar bears. We will not be carrying any weapons and will be defenceless if we encounter one. Is this a problem in the Nuuk area? Do the locals carry weapons when walking in the countryside?

Thank you!

Does Godthaab Bryghus or Daddy's sell shirts?

Does Godthaab Bryghus or Daddy's sell shirts? If they do I really want one and I'd definitely pay someone to buy it and ship it to me, with some extra for the work

I made this guy a burger over the summer, who is he?

When I was in Nuuk over the summer I was cooking at BBQ, and this guy was there. Apparently he was a former local politician and had some kind of high profile interaction with Donald Trump?

Can anyone recognize him and tell me more about him? He was a pretty nice and down to earth guy.

Hello people of Nuuk. Just wondering if there's any couchsurfers or people open to host in Nuuk. Also if there's some private people renting rooms for a few nights, it would be helpful. Well be in Nuuk from 12th to 18th Sept. Markus & Mary

Guitar classes (online)

Hey there, people of Nuuk!

I'm an online guitar teacher, and I've students from all over the world, with many of them living in remote places where maybe there aren't that many guitar teachers nearby. I was thinking maybe this is the case for Nuuk? I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post this, so please delete my post if it's breaking any rules.

I still have some open slots for new students for this year. The lessons are held via Zoom/Skype and tailored according to your guitar needs. Besides the live lesson, you can get asynchronous feedback from me and custom-made videos. When necessary, Lessons can be held weekly or with less frequency if needed.

I provide guidance, structured teaching, videos and PDF materials whenever needed, but, most importantly: experienced feedback that will save you tons of time in your learning. I also hold a few online recitals each year for my students from different states and countries can gather and play for each other and get familiar with performing live in front of others (even if it's just from home).

My rates are quite affordable, and I have a lot of flexibility with schedules

Some testimonials on my website: https://www.schulkin-guitar-studio.com/testimonials

And some performances https://www.schulkin-guitar-studio.com/videos

You can also find more info of my background, rates and more in that website

Searching for Greenlandic Family

I am a documentary photographer based in India. I will be returning back for my 2nd semester at Danish School of Media and Journalism in Aarhus, Denmark next year in August 2023.

I plan to do a project in Greenland starting mid October 2023 till 1st week of December. My focus of the project would be to combine the scientific findings validating the speed of melting ,future predictions( for which i ll be working with a climate station ) and its current consequences the greenlandic traditions and culture are facing. Hence i am searching for a Greenlandic family whom i can photograph and stay with for a span of 20-25 days.

Kindly please let me know the costs associated with it.

Please feel free to ask any questions about the project or about me.

Thanks in advance.

Jeg er en dokumentarfotograf baseret i Indien. Jeg vender tilbage til mit 2. semester på Danmarks Medie- og Journalisthøjskole i Aarhus næste år i august 2023. Jeg planlægger at lave et projekt i Grønland fra midten af oktober 2023 til 1. uge af december. Mit fokus i projektet vil være at kombinere de videnskabelige resultater, der validerer smeltningshastigheden, fremtidige forudsigelser (som jeg vil arbejde med en klimastation for) og dets nuværende konsekvenser, som de grønlandske traditioner og kultur står over for. Derfor leder jeg efter en grønlandsk familie, som jeg kan fotografere og bo hos i 20-25 dage. Venligst oplys mig om omkostningerne forbundet med det. Du er velkommen til at stille spørgsmål om projektet eller om mig. Tak på forhånd.

Daddy's anyone?

I'm in Nuuk for the next couple weeks. I know no one here, and I'm bored out of my mind. Who's up for having a beer with a stranger on the Internet?

BTW, anyone who doesn't know, "Daddy's" is the name of a popular bar in Nuuk. I'm not being creepy or suggestive!

I am a photographer from India . I plan to travel to Greenland for a project on Climate change and its effects on the Greenlandic population. Instead of a conventional approach of just photographing the melting ice caps i am eager in knowing if it effects on the culture and tradition on inuit people

i plan to visit places like Qaanaaq, Ilulissat etc for my project. I want to be in touch with as many native greenlandic people and ask few more question and seek their help in planning my Journey.I have been reading a bit about colonization effect on Inuit population resulting in loss of identity. Also the effect of the experiment the danish performed by taking Inuit children and also the birth control scandal.

I have been most importantly focused on Climate change because in 2019 we experienced a major water crisis also we didn't receive any rainfall that year so i have a common ground . In case you would like to see the photographs you can visit my website.

Kindly who so ever would be interested to share their story/ experience / info please get in touch.
