Thank you for sharing! I will be showing this to my homeschoolers who are curious about Greenland; thank you for a clean and informative video showing what real life there is like!
This was honestly the best vlog on Greenland, I've ever seen. I much prefer this style of vlogging, where the traveler interacts with the locals and delves deep into the history and culture. This was so cool and interesting to watch. Most people don't know Greenland has ruins.
3:53- That church built from fitted rocks was witness to the last historical complete record of the Norse Greenlander life. Namely, a Scandinavian couple named Sigrid Bjornsdottir and her fiance Thorstein Olafsson had had their ship blow off course from Iceland and they'd been given shelter in Hvalsey where they decided to get married in that very church in September,1408. Then they set sail for Iceland to start a new life but witnesses to their wedding their would record that they'd been married in that Greenlandic church- the very last historic glimpse of the Norse Greenlander colony. Within a few decades, they appears to have been abandoned. Yet over a century later in 1540, an Icelandic sea captain would venture back to the Norse colonies only to discover them empty but for a single corpse of a redhaired Norseman wearing animal skins but carrying the remains of an iron knife. What that man's name was and whether he'd spent his entire life among the last survivors if not having been the very last survivor is a complete mystery! Anyway, I'm glad you and your family got the chance to touch a building that bore witness to one last hopeful event before its congregants would meet still unknown fates ! Thanks for this!
Saw your video on Doha airport and noticed you had been in my home country Greenland. Very nice video! although Qaqortoq is not the most southern town in Greenland, Nanortalik is. And the thing with mosquitoes.. it's not like that everywhere in Greenland. My hometown Narsaq which is close to Qaqortoq does not have that problem if I remember correctly, haven't been there in years. Nuuk also does not have that problem in the city, but as soon as you leave the city of Nuuk and head in nature, the mosquitoes are everywhere. In two years you can fly directly to the capital, Nuuk. They are upgrading the landingstrip to fit larger planes. I suggest you come back to see more of Greenland in the future. Great video.
Eating seal fat must have been the worst, I've never seen Jordan act that way about food🤣🤣🤣. And OMG, Lennon is so cute and adorable.💋 He's traveled to more countries more than me, save the memories!!.❣
Thanking you guys for an amazing video!! never knew I wanted to go to Greenland until I see this 😍 Lennon is soooooo flipping adorable . What amazing memories your making for him. Take care xXx
So guess ill be the first one to say it ... albeit a nice serene place with great scenery theres really not much to do in Greenland which personally i actuality like going to wide open densely populated places but im.quite sure most people (party animals for instance) wouldnt appreciate a beautiful calm quiet place like this where you can actually clear your mind!
Just found your channel 20 seconds ago... What immediately struck me was... after cruising thousands of miles in the sea to reach a land mass... they took a boat ride for their break (Whaaat, seriously?) Especially when their next schedule is to travel another few thousands of miles in rhe sea😊
Here after randomly looking at the map on my phone and seeing a land mass that had no name until I zoomed in it read Greenland…. The language I’ve never heard in my life and it sounds very difficult to learn. I enjoy watching others cultures while expanding my mind, how delightful.
It is very difficult indeed. It is a polysynthetic language, which means entire sentences can be represented in a single word. Roots, endings, and morphemes are added on top of each other via agglutination, which entails a long list of sounds rules and agglutinative sound changes.
15:35 Made by a danish artist - noo. The whales and faces are made by the greenlandic artist Aka Høegh, born and raised in Qaqortoq. The head of a ram which you might walked by is also made by a greenlandic artist, Niels Motzfeldt.
Awesome video. Could you possibly do a what’s in your bag video? What are some of your essentials that you always travel with? Certain jackets, pants, shorts, gear, etc.
Hi I thanks for making that wonderful video and wow what an amazing country Green Land looks. The people were so friendly and that came across well on the video. The lovely different coloured houses and the views looked stunning.
Fun fact : The Viking who discovered Greenland was named Erik the red. Him and other Vikings got kicked out of Iceland and Erik the red ended up sailing until he found Greenland. He named it Greenland to attract settlers to the Island. You can still find Erik the Red's gravestone in Greenland.
Hi Jordan, Chloe, and Lennon. Is it safe to say that your now in America? If so....WELCOME HOME!!!!!! I can't tell you how much I am enjoying this channel. You never cease to amaze your fan base. I couldn't watch you eating that seal fat, fish, or whale. YUCK. I would be thinner than Chloe if I lived in Iceland. I imagine it is going to be awhile before you guys start to travel again but I will be waiting. Thank you for constantly sharing🤡🍫👻☠🦇🕷🕸🎃🪦
Thanks, Man for the video! Amazing especially that fresh water is separated from salt water. I am Muslim and Allah have told us about that in Quran chapter 25 verse 53: And He is the One Who merges the two bodies of water: one fresh and palatable and the other salty and bitter, placing between them a barrier they cannot cross. Anyways, amazing. I told my wife to visit Greenland in summer!
Love your videos! We're going on a cruise to Greenland next month, wondering what your experience was with using credit cards while in Greenland, we're trying to decide if we need to get some Krone before we board the ship.
This was so nice, thankyou for sharing your lovely trip. I would love to go to Greenland it's so picturesque, with the painted houses. Here on the West coast of Scotland, and on the islands we have colourful houses, but not nearly as many as Greenland. Well done for trying the food, l would not have kept it down 🤢 Love how you interact with locals, and learn about their lives. Take care on your travels..... Alioban
@@Anticommunism99Because they aren't looters or colonizers like uncivilized white people, hence didn't have the headstart to invest in their infrastructure and education.
Thank you for such a nice and honest film. I live in Qaqortoq and I´m also a video enthusiast and have been filming for fun and for TV last 20 years. Thank you again I hope I will take nice pictures this coming season.
Good to see that the kids had learnt English, it will help them with their future. The traditional Greenlander home was great, all you need for a homely lifestyle. Was the seal products banned in just the US or were there other countries the ban applied to?
About the inuit in Alaska they are not inuit like the eastern Eskimos but are called yupik. Inuit and Eskimo is the not the same thing and if you talk about all the natives of the Arctic Eskimo is better tho I wouldn't use it too prefer to a specific group.
A Dane here. The Kingdom of Denmark today consists of Denmark, Faroe Islands and Greenland. Until 1945 Iceland, you just came from, also were a part of the Kingdom. Greenland and Faroe Islands are autonomous in the way that they have own parliaments but also permanent seats in the Danish parliament. Danes do not have reps. in the Faroe Islands and Greenland´s parliaments. Faroe islands and Greenland do not have a military but are both through their part of the Kingdom part of NATO. Most foreign affairs and defence are ultimately under parliamentary control from Denmark. Faroe Island and Greenland do not "belong" to Denmark. We are all part of same Kingdom. Faroe Islands and Greenland can decide to leave the Kingdom should they so decide. You mentioned that Inuits have been very good to keep their traditions. Will, unfortunately, are not enough. Climate change are changing climate in Greenland faster than any populated area on the globe. Just 50 years ago nearly all household in Greenland had their own dog couple and sledge so they could go hunting. Then there were thick ice around the coastline 9 months a year allowing for the hunt of seals and icefishing. Now, in just 50 years, the ice barely are thick enough to sustain hunting for 3 months a year completely destroying the family hunter structure all around Greenland. We are family inside the Kingdom and there are a reason why Denmark have become known for acting on climate change and being in the forefront of transitioning away from fossil fuels. Danes decades ago began drilling icecores and this scientific field have turned out to be a gift to humanity. Let me reuse an explanation I wrote not long ago to a climate change denier as part of an serious attempt to explain reality. Glaciologist drilling icecores in Greenland have, by analysing air bubbles captured in the ice, established that we the last 700.000 years have had a pretty stable carbon PPM at 220. Besides Carbon also things like acidity, pollen counts, Vulcanic ash count and identification etc. can be measured. Since the ice sheet have been build up over time, layer by layer, year by year, we go back in time the deeper we go. So we have a YEAR BY YEAR documentation of the global climate 700.000 back or way more than 10 times the period, since man left Africa. There has been a few peaks at 280 PPM that all have been connected to high global Vulcanic activity. These times the ash have first cooled the earth shortly then the effects of a heightened CO2 content have reversed that (as the cooling effect of the ash have settled as well) and the earth have warmed for a longer period and that has been on the basis of just 30 PPM more CO2 content in the atmosphere. Since around the beginning of the industrial revolution PPM has exploded. We are now (2022) at 417 PPM, close to double the amount we have seen last 700.000 year. Just to set the amount of 700.000 years in context, Homo Sapiens left the African continent around 60.000 years ago. We are in serious trouble! The Kingdom of Denmark have approved access to nations that have wanted to do own glaciology studies in Greenland and many nations have. Denmark, USA and Canada for example all have a full set of cores and can thus give you key data of our climate, year by year, 700K years back. We have a global problem and we, as mankind, created that problem, and if we don´t solve it very fast, we eventually will pollute ourselves out of a home. Lets look at some science factual reality. Country 2015 per Capita carbon dioxide emissions from fuel combustion (metric tons) United States 15.53 (now over 16. Americans the most polluting nationals on earth) Russia 10.19 China 6.59 India 1.58 Source. US Government. (epa dot com) These numbers actually to low since aviation are excluded. Americans flying more per Capita than others, making reality even grimmer. IF a policy are UNsustainable for us all and can be replaced by one that ARE SUSTAINABLE and we don´t act on it and CHANGE, well, then Darwinism will take us out! The truth are that USA, Australia and many others are way behind the curve, sticking to old technology when the world are changing are not doing local businesses, population, economy, any favours. The world have agreed on how emissions should be defined, and what are covered. Thus CO2 emission-calculations around the world, for now around 20 years have been streamlined. Basically , now when USA again have signed, the Paris accord the entire worlds countries are covered. Not one country followed US out of the agreement, If all just focus on what they need to DO we can get this going fast. Will USA though act? Trump took USA out of the Paris accord and hired an oil CEO as head of the EPA. Biden re-signed USA in but just a few months ago called the largest oil search and "rights to use" auction in US history ensuring USA do not have a chance to honour its signature or promises. Just a few weeks ago Greenland had temperatures around 20 Celsius. Normal would be around minus 5! 50 years ago Greenland waters were frozen over 9 months a year, now it are barely 3 and ice are more in-stable thus dangerous to hunt on and preventing animal life, like polar bears, to hunt for their primary diet, seals. The same goes for the Greenlandic people! It makes NO sense WASTING an ever increasing amount of taxpayermoney on fixing the endless and increasing symptoms; climate refugees, flooding, draught, cropfailures, a dead ocean, landslides, collapsing waterways through disappearing gletchers, hurricanes etc. etc. I wanna INVEST in CURING the patient, zero emission sustainable living and production. It is cheaper to ACT than let the ball roll. The North Sea summit agreement, the worlds largest - by far - offshore windmill park/sustainable electricity project that was signed 2 months ago will deliver sustainable energy to 230 million high energy using Europeans transitioning them away from fossil fuels. On top same project have worlds largest - by far - hydrogen project. Despite this are the worlds largest, by far, transitioning project transitioning 230 million people in just 12 years it have not had any mention in USA, Australia, Canada. That really are pretty weird because these nations normally are very media focused on the largest, highest etc etc in the world projects. If this were poker I would bet you an Exxon mobile quarterly earnings report that i have a pretty good idea why! CO2 taxes are increasingly being introduced for imported goods around the world. This will fast get any nation not acting to bring their CO2 content down in serious trouble exporting anything. There are NOTHING preventing coastal nations like USA/Canada/Australia/Italy/Portugal, just to name a few,from making a copy/paste of the North Sea summit agreement and get their energy from off shore windmills and hydrogen production. Off shore windmills have a downtime of 3% due to no wind at all. Compensating for this with green hydrogen made from the windmills electricity are a obvious right solution.
I want To live In green land Because It is full of Green environment !!!! The water is green The grass is green The trees is green The animals is green The food is green The soil is green The building is green Alll is green.. that is why I really love Green land ..
At 8.16 not quite correct. It is not a Danish Artist but a local Artist named Aka Høegh - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aka_H%C3%B8egh was there just 10 days ago, having nice blue sky
Thank you for the video. I've always been fascinated with Greenland.. I'm a surfer and have surfed as far north as Novia Scotia. Are there waves up there and I wonder what the water temp is in the middle of summer?
If only more air routes would be added between the US/southern Canada and Greenland, especially as Greenland is physically in North America. And, even more importantly, that such routes would be made less expensive!
@marksneddon It's geopolitically located in Europe and it's the westernmost of the Nordic countries, even while being physically next to North America and being the easternmost of the Inuit (aka Eskimo) areas.
@@CountingCountries We don't have them in Qassiarsuk. Sheepfarmer village about 100-ish km from Qaqortoq. The place where Eric the Red settled. We also have replica of norseruins and the first church in Greenland.

Absolutely terrific around june to august, some places are impossible to go to without walking in a full face/body covered suit.

Tons of water in land like that. When everything thaws, the mosquitos hatch. Same reason Alaskans joke that their state bird is the mosquito.
mosquitos come out in the summer cuz they will hibernate ig during the winter

We have a global problem and we, as mankind, created that problem, and if we don´t solve it very fast, we eventually will pollute ourselves out of a home. Lets look at some science factual reality.
Country 2015 per Capita carbon dioxide emissions from fuel combustion (metric tons)
United States 15.53 (now over 16. Americans the most polluting nationals on earth)
Russia 10.19
China 6.59

These numbers actually to low since aviation are excluded. Americans flying more per Capita than others, making reality even grimmer.

There are NOTHING preventing coastal nations like USA/Canada/Australia/Italy/Portugal, just to name a few,from making a copy/paste of the North Sea summit agreement and get their energy from off shore windmills and hydrogen production. Off shore windmills have a downtime of 3% due to no wind at all. Compensating for this with green hydrogen made from the windmills electricity are a obvious right solution.
You should have mention the names of the settlements. more often ...
damn this was such a cool watch. some people you just see 1 time and u just now they're gems, ur one of them icl. hope you're doing well!
Appreciate that 🙏🏽
If you can build a dry stone fence, you can build a stone church.
sorry, but the southern most city or town in Greenland is Nanortalk, or there might be a settlement even further south

At 8.16 not quite correct. It is not a Danish Artist but a local Artist named Aka Høegh - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aka_H%C3%B8egh
was there just 10 days ago, having nice blue sky
Thank you guys for an amazing vlog.
I’d love to visit Greenland
No, Greenland does not export fish to Iceland. Iceland is one of the world's largest exporters of fish themselves.
Beautiful I want to go there for my birthday 🎉
That clean water is amazing. Imagine if they saw some of the water here. They would be horrified
Thanks for introducing me Greenland
At 11:47 This is normally what we hear when someone visits South Africa for the first time...haha
We have no mosquitos in the winter in the south. Surprised by them there in the cold. Beautiful place tho
Thank you for the video. I've always been fascinated with Greenland.. I'm a surfer and have surfed as far north as Novia Scotia. Are there waves up there and I wonder what the water temp is in the middle of summer?
Jordan has sealed the eating of seal fats for life 😄
That was the last time 🤣
Love this. What camera and drone are you using to film?
If only more air routes would be added between the US/southern Canada and Greenland, especially as Greenland is physically in North America. And, even more importantly, that such routes would be made less expensive!
No
@marksneddon It's geopolitically located in Europe and it's the westernmost of the Nordic countries, even while being physically next to North America and being the easternmost of the Inuit (aka Eskimo) areas.
You eating seal fat was the funniest😂😂
this is absolutely amazing content, thank you
Very cool video! I would like to live permanently in this place.
Which month did you guys visit Greenland?
Thank You!
Beautiful family and good video thank you ❤
Looks nice, but I couldn’t handle the bugs.
Yep. The bugs were awful
@@CountingCountries We don't have them in Qassiarsuk. Sheepfarmer village about 100-ish km from Qaqortoq. The place where Eric the Red settled. We also have replica of norseruins and the first church in Greenland.
The whole time the baby didn't have its head covered, but mom and dad had their heads covered ar 42 degrees outside. 😪
Ya itu menjd perhatian ku.
You cut a part of the video out at 3:26 where you said " No, this up here" When pronouncing the name of the island. I caught this because i remember watching this. Why did you cut it out?
no wonder greenland is so cold most of it is like 9000 ft above sea level, inland of course maybe its mainly ice compacted snow lol
Nice people in the world.im a filip😅na live in the philippines nice watching you guys
french hotdog / danish thing (you can ask for them with ketchup in them as well).
Lovely
Thank you for sharing.
Really was not expecting there to be that many bugs
At least you were honest, and didn't say 'Yummy' on many foods 😉like other Ytuber! Greenland~ one day will go! The Natual is calling! Yeah...!🤭
Wow the view is excellent wow ,however how are the bugs surviving that temp° by the was what is it?
I know I can't go there but I got to see a lot from your video.
Amoc the two types of water meeting together.. amoc is near to the tipping point..
