Greenland Day2
I had hoped to move on today (Wed) However, once again the weather is very marginal for a 600 plus sea crossing. What was forecast two days ago has changed.

Day 17 - Narsarsuaq

Flower Valley is a really pretty litte area surrouned by a glacial river and dotted with clumps of bright purple flowers. Definitely worth the walk. Narsarsuaq also ...
