Nuuk
Nuuk is our last vititing for our Greenland trip. Nuuk is the capital of the Greenland (Karallit Nuunat) as well as biggest city.
We look for permafrost here. Most of the land in Nuuk is absence of permafrost.
Permafrost is only presence at the base of north facing slope but also thicker peat area.
We would like say that this is southern boundary of the permafrost distribution in Greenland!
After the drilling, we packed up and back to Fairbanks.
