The ship pulled into the calm bay of Qaqortoq, Greenland (here’s how you pronounce this city).  The 1600
residents live perched on the sides of the hills overlooking the bay.  This is the fourth or fifth largest city in Greenland.

Qaqortoq has been settled since prehistoric times with the Saqqaq people (an Eskimo/Inuit people).  Today it is part of the kingdom of Denmark.  So, the people of Greenland are Danish nationals.

An interesting fact:  Greenland is the largest island in the world.

I will be taking a walking tour of the town of Qaqortoq this afternoon.

Much of Greenland is above the article circle.  I think we'll venture above this line in Iceland.

Here are a few of my photos upon the ship's arrival on this foggy morning.

The homes are huddled together in the largest city in southern Greenland.

Here's where our tender boats will unload passengers.

Tourism is one of the important parts of the economy in Qaqortoq.

The homes are very colorful perched in the hills.

This boater wasn't afraid of hitting an iceberg in the harbor of Qaqortoq.
