 September 20, 2023

Our second day in Greenland took us to Qaqortoq, a town of just over 3,000 people.

The Vikings settled this area in the 10th century. The Inuit followed, and the Danish era followed that. We visited a sweet church that dates to the early 1800s.

There are dozens of “Stone and Man” sculptures carved into a hillside.


We saw a sod house, used by the Inuits until the 1950s.
We have set off for our next port in calm seas. There are clouds tonight so we most likely will not have a repeat of last night’s Northern Lights.
