Balfor's Greenland Page

by balfor - last update: Aug 8, 2006

welcome to Thule!

This amazing sight is looking toward Mt. Dundas. The photo was taken about 2 am (0200) and as you can see, the sun is still shining brightly. (Or it would have been had it not been so overcast! <grin>)
You KNOW that something has gone amiss with your rational thinking when you volunteer to go to a place that is too far north to see the Northern Lights!

Finally got my scanner working and my pictures found, so I'll be adding a bit to this page as time goes on!

Stream in a valley

This stream was formed from the melting snow. This picture was taken in the early summer about 10 pm (2200).

Pros:"The malls aren't crowded at Christmas!"
Cons:"There are no malls to be crowded. :("
In A Nutshell:"If you like to get away from it all, this is your place!"

 What a treat! I was stationed at Thule in 1955-56 time frame. No running water, 3 min showers, marine toilets, etc Thanks for bringing this experience to others.

 Great tips on a fascinating place! If I ever make it to Greenland I will certainly take someone with me whom I can outrun! ; )

 Having my own personal stalker makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. My life would be so incomplete with out one. Would you like on also, I'm sure I could arrange for it.
