When did you visit Greenland?
I was in Greenland in October 2016 for two weeks. A friend of mine was visiting his uncle in Nuuk and asked if I wanted to join him. I have always been interested in the Arctic and the polar regions, so when he asked I jumped at the chance. I feel very lucky to have seen this part of the world.
What’s your favourite memory of Greenland and why?
I have many favourite memories of my time in Greenland. The first night, I saw the Northern Lights – it was wondrous. Watching this luminous green mist snaking its way across the sky was something I will always remember.
Another was when we took a small hike in Nuuk.
I’m not sure if we walked to a particularly high point. But the view and the atmosphere at the top was like nothing I’d ever experienced before. The stillness and vastness of the landscape was breathtaking. As we had began our walk quite early the fog had not yet lifted, so it gave the view a very other-worldly feel, it was really magical.
