Groenlandia desde el aire | South-East coast - Costa sur-este |
Actually I have not been in Greenland, but "above" Greenland in my way to the USA. It was a KLM flight from Amsterdam to Chicago. I was really lucky to be there in a sunny day and enjoy such a wonderful scenary, because the second time I did this trip I couldn't see anything. Realmente yo no he estado en Groenlandia, pero sí "sobre" Groenlandia, en mi camino a los EE.UU. Esto fue en un vuelo de la KLM desde Amsterdam a Chicago. Verdaderamente tuve suerte de estar allí en un día soleado y ver este precioso paisaje, ya que la segunda vez que hice este viaje no pude ver absolutamente nada. |
|  | Greenland is the biggest island in the world, if we consider Australia as a continent itself. It's mainly located at the North of the Arctic Circle and more than 80% of its surface is covered by ice. Nearly all the population live in the South-West coast, which has a milder climate, so the area I saw from the plane was almost unhinhabited.
Groenlandia es la isla más grande del mundo, si consideramos que Australia es un continente por sí mismo. La mayor parte del territorio se encuentra al norte del Círculo Polar Ártico y más del 80% de la superficie está cubierta por hielo. La mayoría de la población vive en la costa sur-oeste, que tiene un clima más moderado, por lo que la zona que yo ví desde el avión está prácticamente deshabitada. |
Greenland became an integral part of the Kingdom of Denmark in 1953 and it was granted home rule by the Danish Parliament on 1979, so it's a self-governed Danish territory. It's geographically placed in America, but politically and culturally nearest to Europe.

You deserve a prize for having a top 5 page of a location, when you haven't even set foot there!!!!! Very original. Thanks for sharing ;-) | Thestumps Mon Jun 18, 2007 04:36 UTC
You know, we flew over Greenland going from Newark to Beijing. Actually, through the North Pole, down over Russia, Mongolia and into Beijing. A polar route. Too high in the clouds to take pictures though. | Redang Sun Feb 4, 2007 17:42 UTC
