Why Nuuk flights today have been cancelled. Stuck in Kangerlussuaq until Monday, 1 September
Winds were much stronger than this earlier. Hopefully we will get there on Monday or Tuesday. In the meantime, will enjoy Kangerlussuaq. Gotta make the best of the delays.

Question Supporting Greenland and its people
Hi I hope this isn’t a sensitive question because it’s not my intention to hurt anyone!
As a Dane I’ve always considered Greenland a part of our hearts. Like siblings! Whenever something good happens in Greenland, I cheer. When something hurtful happens, I weep.
Given the very recent event with the US and Donald Trump my question is: Is there a way that I (and others) can support you guys?
Are there any products/brands from Greenland I can switch to?
Any organizations I can donate to and support?
I hope you all are safe
- Love from a Dane

Request Seeking Ukrainians In Greenland
Hi everyone, please remove this post if you prefer not to have it in your space.
I'm doing a podcasting project and I'm looking for Ukrainians who have resettled elsewhere in the world due to the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine. It is a limited, interview-based series. I am looking for interviewees who would be willing to sit down and have a conversation on a prerecorded podcast and tell me a bit about their life story and the impact the conflict has had on them. This project is entirely voluntary - there is no monetary exchange whatsoever, and interviewees can opt to have their episode taken down at any time.
If you are or know someone who would be interested, please contact me by DMing me here or via email at contact@symplecticmedia.com. I also have TG, Signal, WA, and so on.
Thank you for your time!

Plane to Nuuk got turned around back to Newark
Our flight got turned around because of “security concerns” at the airport. I get the whole hunting season thing so if anything idk why united would have us take off without being sure we’d be able to land…
Overall my experience with united for this trip has been horrendous, from baggage handling to customer service (believe it or not they got rid of all their customer service desks at one of their HUB AIRPORTS) and then this whole ordeal.
Seems the airport is closed indefinitely until they figure things out but I’m still holding out hope I can go.

If Denmark gives Greenland it's independence what does that look like on the ground?
Can Denmark survive completely autonomously? I mean like no part of the social safety net from Denmark, no military support from Denmark or NATO or even the EU. Like if you were completely independent, how would that work?
It makes me nervous for the people there because if Denmark gives it to you, Trump is going to just take the island, there won't be anyone that cans top him at that point. Right now Demark could use Article 5 if he tried.

This is a subjective urban approach to Nuuk. You can find more photos in this blog post (text in German).

Discussion What are the cheapest places to stay in Nuuk?
Hello everyone! I would love to visit but I’m finding that hotels are pretty pricey. Are there are cheap hostels there? Or places that are lesser known? Thank you!

Humour People from Greenland, how many of you play Plague Inc?
Greenland has a reputation among Plague Inc fans due to being hard to infect. I wonder how many of you Greenlanders are aware of this or play the game yourselves.

What is the meaning of the song Ulloq qaasoq?
I was on a bus in Copenhagen where a Greenlandic woman was whailing this song. It was quite the experience. She seemed very emotional about it so I was wondering if there was any particular meaning behind it.
I've tried to find the lyrics but can't come across them anywhere so can't even translate them myself. So if you could give it a listen, that would be great

Bouldering in Nuuk
Hey there, going to be visiting from Iqaluit and I was wondering if there is any crash pad rentals in Nuuk. I see there is a draft bouldering guide available online. Thanks!

How long is the tundra green around Nuuk?
Nuuk looks so green and lush in the summer. How late in the season does it stay that way? Would there still be green patches of tundra in early or mid September, or would it be turning autumn colors already?

Snacks/Food items not found in Greenland
Hi all! I'll be visiting Greenland soon and wanted to know what American foods to bring to share/gift. For example I was thinking of stereotypically American snacks that might be rare/hard to find over there like flamin hot cheetos. This is my first time visiting so I'm not sure what's actually available in stores. Open to any and all ideas!

Mulighed for læreplads I Grønland?
Hej jeg er cirka halvvejs igennem min uddannelse til køletekniker og kunne godt tænke mig at færdiggøre min uddannelse i Grønland, da jeg alligevel gerne vil bo og arbejde deroppe, når jeg nu engang bliver færdig.
Så er der nogen der ved om man kan søge læreplads eller overhovedet stå i lære i Grønland, som dansker?

Searching for Survey Data for a University Case Study on Sovereignty
I am a University Student at the University of Montana, USA. My collaborators and I are creating a case study on the long and turbulent relationship between America and Greenland.
In turn, I need the actual perspective of Greenlanders. This would be a completely anonymous survey. To reach the most people, also outside of Reddit, we would require someone to help translate the survey and share the survey. Any help is greatly appreciated.
For context, this case study is on Greenlandic Inuit's history with both USA and Danish Policies. The goal of this study is to get preliminary research on how Greenlander's want to have sovereignty after hundreds of years of colonization.
