DAY NINE – LATER THE SAME DAY, KANGERLUSSUAQ

A low-pressure system between Iceland and Greenland creating high winds in the west, has postponed our departure for Reykjavik until tomorrow morning….if the weather improves… Ras will get the final forecast at 6:00 a.m. tomorrow and will make his decision then.

We didn’t walk the planned 14 kms today to the harbour but listened to Jens, a Greenland Air pilot, regale us with wonderful stories of aviation adventure in the north instead, and then visited the local museum where an old Dane entertained us with even more stories. The museum is set in the old US Military Headquarters and houses good photos and other paraphernalia from those years of the Cold War when this town was created.
