Die meisten Häuser in Grönland sind auf Fels gebaut/aufgeständert und werden durch Holztreppen erschlossen. Damit sind sie im Winter trotz Schnee noch zugänglich und im Sommer versinken sie nicht in Schlamm/ auftauendem Permafrost. Orte ohne felsigen Untergrund bekommen wegen des Klimawandels zunehmend Probleme.

Das Heimatmuseum von Upernavik umfasst die alten Kolonialgebäude, im Hauptbild die Kirche von 1839 und der alte Laden von 1864. Im gemauerten, außen gelb gestrichenen Teil wurden früher die Fässer mit Waltran gelagert.

Gudrun has posted:

The cemetery at Upernavik sits on top of a hill and looks out to the sea (as do all Inuit cemeteries). Because of permafrost the coffins are above ground and cemented in. This can only be done in the short summer season so the cement mixer pragmatically stays on site.

Qeqertarsuaq

nobody@ipernity.com (Gudrun) — Sat, 13 Jul 2024 08:18:35 +0000

Gudrun has posted:

The Inuit word Qeqertarsuaq means "big island" and is used for both Disko Island and the settlement on its south coast.

Disko Island is famous for its geology: on top of cretaceous volcanic and sedimentary rock there are tertiary basalts (see notes for a closer look at the layers) and the northern part of the island is one of the very few places where native iron can be found.
Apart from the geology there is also a surprisingly lush tundra vegetation usually only found in southern Greenland.
