This page was inspired by my travels in Greenland in 1998, 1999, and 2000. Kalaallit Nunaat, as Greenlanders call their home, humbled me. In the words of Greenland’s most famous son, Knud Rasmussen: “… there is no country in the world where a traveller meets with such a luxuriant variety of experiences as in Greenland” (from The People of the Polar North).
I befriended a family in Sisimiut, who took me into their home and took me seal hunting. I took three memorable hikes that tested my backcountry skills and tolerance of mosquito swarms, but rewarded me with some of the most beautiful landscapes I can remember. My trips also allowed me to explore the home rule territory’s Inuit and Norse heritage. These photos are just a small cross section of the many images I took.
