Kulusuk in Greenland

We walked about two miles from the hotel to Kulusuk town
Cemetery at the side of the road
Remember, this is in the middle of Summer
Sewer line and fog from the edge of town
Gas and oil for the whole town
The Store. The only one.
The playground near the school. in Summer the kids are allowed to play day and night.
The church. Notice the seal skin kneeling mats at around the altar.
The two girls at the front were our local guides. They said their favorite food was whale blubber. It was their equivalent of candy. They came from an even smaller town
At the farthest point a statue looks out over the ice-packed bay.
They fish when they can. The bay isn’t expected to clear for another month. Then they will get shipments of food and supplies to see them through Winter.
Quite a few houses had dogs around. Generally Huskies.
Yep. Just like you thought, the dogs are for transportation.
