Visited Nuuk today, capital of Greenland, with a population of 15,000. It is the worlds smallest capital city! “Nuuk” means the headlands and is situated at the tip of a large peninsula at the mouth of a gigantic fjord complex.
It was first inhabited by the ancient Inuit people known as Saqqaq around 2000 BC, later by Vikings in 10thC.
Had a great time walking around the city, stopping off at the National Museam to see the 15thC Qilakitsoq mummies, found near Uummannaq and the subject of a past National Geographic story.
And we saw hump back whales!!
