Visit Greenland “Our country, which has become so old: your head is all covered with white hair” sings the national anthem of Greenland, the largest island in the world and an autonomous country within Denmark. And as you take a trip across Greenland, you will find the truth of the statement being borne in the form of spectacular fjords, mountains capped with ice and snow, icebergs that portray a calm majesty and colossal glaciers in the background of a calm, azure sea. Natural beauty is the thing most worth seeing in Greenland. The climate here is unusual in character, and bearing this in mind, road transport between towns is not possible. So, if you need transportation, you will have to rely on boating, sleds, snowmobiles or airplanes. On top of your visiting list should be the Ilulissat ice-fjord, the most visited tourist site in Greenland, and a UNESCO heritage site. An iceberg strewn part of the coast in Disko Bay, the ice-fjord is a site where icebergs break away from the majestic Sermeq Kujalleq glacier and float on the coastal waters. This remarkable spectacle can be witnessed from land, and if you get the time right, you may even see how it happens. The sight is sure to tingle your appreciation for nature. South of the Ilulissat ice-fjord is Disko Bay district, An astounding natural area which you must visit in the summer to view the blue fjords, mountain routes, green hills and tundra plains. You can also go hiking and make the most out of your visit. From the town

First off the weather is so cold there that they have igloos as houses. That means that they can use their surrounding ice and snow to build a home that can stay there even through the summer. The Inuit can also build houses out of wood but it is very rare to see in a village because there are not a lot of trees in the arctic for them to cut down and build as houses, plus it takes more effort and work when they could just have an igloo and get other more important things done. Next thing that is different between the other two tribes is that the Inuit think that they are the most important barometer in the world because what happens in the world, like global changes, always happen there first. Therefore we can figure out what’s gonna happen to us in the next few years from the information based off of the arctic.

The Scandinavian Vikings were a group of people who lived on the Scandinavian Peninsula which encompasses modern day Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. The Vikings were known for their strength and brutality in combat, and they were feared by civilizations and kingdoms all across Europe. These strangers from the north were often looked upon as savages and were thought of as the embodiment of Dark Age barbarism. While it may be true that the Norsemen were quite brutal in combat; it would be a mistake to think of them as mindless animals who commit to nothing but destruction (Stock Page1).
Have you ever had a sibling or somebody else ruin the things you were doing or the way you do things? Native Americans understand this question because it happened to them hundreds of years ago. Before the Spanish and British came to the Americas, there were almost 300,000 people in North America. These Native Americans were from Eurasia, Africa, and even Australia, and had their lives ruined by western explorers and settlements. The Native Americans were the first people in North America and likely crossed over the land bridge and split into a number of groups.

Port Renfrew, Vancouver Island, where the fog rises before your eyes. In the summer between the tenth and eleventh grade, my family decided that Vancouver Island would be lovely to visit. I agreed; I would have a chance to photograph what I never have before. Although it was summer, the temperature was significantly lower, with the sun straying close to the clouds. I remember the open sea, in all its unrestrained glory, the way it nipped at me as I strayed near the edge of the cliffs, I did that often.
