Images of Greenland - Chosen from the Internet
Although I now prefer a warmer place to live, when I was much younger I lived where winters that welcomed snow and ice lasted about 5 months, from mid-November to mid-April, and I loved it. However, as you will see from these photos, there is much beauty in Greenland.

Anyone want to visit?
Interesting place-- but too cold for me!
Do you not have a parka?
Yes but I accidentally left it in my hotel room right before I left Iceland.
Tsk tsk.
and bunny boots or mukluks
Whatever it takes to be warm.
The Mukluks of Greenland can be dangerous animals-- best to avoid them!
Yep, watch out for them there mukluks...
Many years ago there was a comedy group called The Firesign Theatre. IMO one of the funniest comedy groups ever. (I don't remember the year-- probably in the 1960s) I had 2 of their albums (78s). Probably only 2 or maybe 3 people here have heard of them.
IIRc one of their lines was "come inside and put your Mukluks by the fire". (My guess is that most listeners had no idea what Mumluks were-- but in context it was somehow still funny).
I know you can't see Wikipedia text so here's a brief excerpt:
The Firesign Theatre (also known as the Firesigns ) [1] [2] was an American surreal comedy troupe who first appeared on November 17, 1966, in a live performance on the Los Angeles radio program Radio Free Oz on station KPFK FM.
They continued appearing on Radio Free Oz , which later moved to KRLA 1110 AM and then KMET FM, through February 1969. They produced fifteen record albums and a 45 rpm single under contract to Columbia Records from 1967 through 1976, [3] and had three nationally syndicated radio programs....
In 1997, Entertainment Weekly ranked the Firesign Theatre among the "Thirty Greatest Comedy Acts of All Time".
And while I'm posting off-topic comments re: comedy groups of that era, back then I did see one fantastic group on Broadway: Beyond the Fringe:
Beyond the Fringe is a groundbreaking British satirical revue that started at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 1960 and became a massive hit in London and on Broadway, featuring original material by and starring Alan Bennett, Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, and Jonathan Miller, who satirized politics, society, and the establishment through sketches, songs, and monologues. The show's success launched the careers of its four creators and is considered a landmark in political satire, influencing comedy for decades
If interested you can you can find out more about them using your favourite search engine.
Oh wait-- now I remember-- I didn't leave my parka in Iceland. Rather, they are on a bench next to my #Mukluks!
78s? Are you sure you don't mean 33s?
I have no memory of them whatsoever.
Me! I would even visit in the winter to see the Northern Lights again.
Beautiful photos, Buzz. I like the one where the sun is on the horizon. I bet the date that was taken was December 21. When I was in Alaska, the sun barely came above the horizon on the Winter Solstice
The Northen Lights are an amzing natural spectacle and you don't need to go all the way to Greenland to see it.
If I lived in Canada or parts of the Northern US, sure. But I live in Arkansas. I doubt I will be seeing them anytime soon unless there's a massive solar storm
Maybe you'll be lucky one of these days due to the effects of global warming.
Yes.
Looks pretty.
I want it! I think I will take it!
LOL. I assume you mean you want to tour It. It's Trump who wants to TAKE it.
No, I want to take it. Why do the Danes get to have it? I want it!
Sorry, you can't have it. But you can have something else that's Danish, here you go...
