Can Greenlanders explain to me why they jailed Paul Watson and how people from Greenland think about that?

Everyone who loves the sea and who loves Wales supports him, from Iceland, to Germany, to the US and around the world. Watson did what we all should have done to save some of the most majestic creatures on earth which are sacret to many northern tribes and now your country jailed him, the protector of the wales. How do people from Greenland think about that?

Football tournament venues

When are the Greenlandic football hosts known for 2025 and 2026 seasons? I'd love to visit for this but not sure how to plan ahead.

Late Dec to Jan Trip. Advice?

Hello,

We are considering to visit Greenland this winter around late December to January (inside this timeframe). I am aware that there's little light and almost none depending on which areas. We visited the polar nights in Svalbard last winter and really loved it so this is not a problem.

I am trying to come up with an itinerary mixing Nuuk plus some other place to see nature. Any suggestions on the itinerary and what to do during these times aside from Northern lights? and aside from Nuuk to see the capital, which area do you recommend? Thanks a lot!

Blomster?

Tak for svar, det bliver vist en lego buket eller crepe blomster i stedet 💐

Hej. Jeg bor i Danmark og vil rigtig gerne sende en buket til en i Narsaq. Jeg bestilte en hos Interflora, de påstod at kunne levere til hele Grønland, men det kan de desværre ikke alligevel. Google er ikke min ven. Kender I en måde at bestille en buket?

Odd question out of USA

I'm hitting fall in New York, if global warming let's it happen we should hit below zero/freezing (0 Celsius, because that makes sense, so we cant use it) with sharp wind that makes your ears feel like glass falling off. I miss and love it, so I am hoping.

My main reason for reaching out is that I need a little help from anyone that might now. Where can I find a good hoodie made of Qiviut. I have been reading up on it and it seems absolutely amazing. Wildly expensive but it seems like a lifetime buy.

I love my winters but injuries make it my body ache. I do have plenty of gear as is, Navy made long Peacoat (made for artic conditions), Carhartt gear that is wonderful for cold weather wind and rain. I just wanted to add a little something.

Reading about the materials it seems like it is truly something to do the job. In addition it could outlast me like my peacoat and some boots I got.

If you got any ideas, please let me know. I've only really been able to find sweaters. I just don't like settling for a sweater and hat.

Any assistances would be incredibly useful and I'd be truly thank. Also if you ever want to come to my shores I'd be happy to help out in anyway possible.

ETIAS for Greenland?

Hi there, in 2025 the EU will introduce the ETIAS system for citizens which are currently visa free (e.g. Canada, US, UK etc.). It applies to Schengen countries, including Denmark. Greenland isn't *technically* part of schengen but a special provision of the agreement means that anyone entering Greenland from outside Schengen area is subject to passport control and a Schengen stamp is issued.

How will it work for Greenland? Will ETIAS be required? Also, is the new Nuuk airport set up for the EES system, which is required for ETIAS?

Nuuk apattments

Dear Greenland

Soon ill be moving up to Nuuk to my girlfriend who's local. It seems like all apartments are only rented out for Companys or there's a long waiting list. Is there any chance of getting an apartment in Nuuk without having to buy?

Visiting Nuuk October 9-16... Recommendations for things to do + eating GF?

Hi everyone! My boyfriend and I are visiting Nuuk for a week in a few days. We have already been making lots of plans for our trip, but I just wanted to reach out and see if any locals (or folks that have been here and have ideas) can provide us with any recommendations? Like, if there is absolutely one thing we must do during our trip, what would you suggest?

We live in Iqaluit, Nunavut if it makes any difference. We are down to experience anything we can, so if there's any ideas on local/community events that would be open to visitors, or any way for us to immerse ourselves in the culture, we would love that. Also recommendations for food would be great - my boyfriend has no restrictions and would love to get to try some local catches if possible.

Unfortunately, I do have dietary restrictions (fish (I know 🥲) and I'm celiac) so also if anyone can recommend anything for me, that would be awesome. I did some googling and it does appear that Nuuk has like two or three restaurants I should be fine to eat at. But I'd be interested to know if it is easy to make gluten free accommodations at restaurants that might otherwise not advertise it?

TYIA! 😊

If you were a member of Inatsisartut, what laws would you pass?

What kind of laws do you want to see passed in Greenland's parliament. Or would there be any that you want repealed? In general, im just asking, what do you want your politicians to do or change.

First Responders

Hi! I am going to be visiting Greenland in February. My boyfriend is a firefighter so I always like to look up the fire departments of the places we are going to. I have tried to find info about the fire service in Greenland but have found nothing (doesn’t help that a few towns away is a town named Greenland so that keeps coming up). If anyone knows and info or has an resources I could look into I would appreciate it!!
