    • Favorite Thing: Most people don't have a clue where Thule is, so I thought I'd put up a map, courtesy of Encarta.

    As you can see, there is not a whole lot of the world further north than Thule, which is located on the north west side of Greenland. While it is in the extreme north, it DOES get above freezing there. You have to go a bit further north to reach the permanent ice pack and the ocean is not frozen for about 4 months or so every summer.

     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.    		Elena77 Tue Mar 10, 2009 12:06 UTC
     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.    		Sininen Sat Aug 25, 2007 05:26 UTC
     I want to go there! Need I say more? Happy birthday from Finland!
