Frost and sun, BUT WHERE NORTHERN LIGHTS? Jacqueline Peterson, USA You can not believe I have just returned from Greenland! Tickets for this trip I paid for my parents. And now, my dream is finished! What can I say? Briefly, this desolate, cold, snowy country. The trip was eventful, beginning with the first day. I woke up with severe pain in the throat. Our flight from Copenhagen was delayed for technical reasons, there were some problems with the air campaign, Air Ginland, and instead of the 9:30 flight on Monday was expected to only two hours of the day. We were told about this when all 30 passengers had already arrived for registration at 7:30 am. We were all saddened and depressed, the only consolation was that we managed to kill time with - all got acquainted with each other and communicated well. Unfortunately, when the appointed time came, boom is still delayed. In the end, by four o'clock in the afternoon, announced that the flight is canceled for today. We were all very, very upset because this was no ordinary flight, it was flying in Grenladniyu we've waited impatiently for a few months. Gloves At six o'clock in the evening we returned to Copenhagen to spend the night. We have placed all together in a hotel and promised to send one of the flight the next day. It seems to me that our plane was something wrong, but because Greenland airlines have only one airline, flying across the Atlantic from Copenhagen to Greenland us were sent on the next day another aircraft, a smaller one. On Tuesday, I woke up and realized she had lost his voice, it was also incredibly painful to swallow. Before, I never colds did not lose his voice, especially not lost it completely. Kangerlussuaq We left at lunch and got to the settlement of Kangerlussuaq in Greenland, which is located on the west coast, very close to the border with Canada. Thus, for a few days later I went back to his homeland, the North American continent. I walked down the gangway of the plane and literally could not say anything, I just stared at the sides in mute astonishment. The airport was covered with snow and very cold. Collect your luggage, we huddled in a school bus that took us to a camp at the place of our guests. The camp was formerly the U.S. Air Force base. Old Camp After we settled into our rooms and encased in as many clothes, we loaded into another bus, which was assigned to us during our stay here. We asked the driver to stop near the shop to buy a massive warm boots and gloves of sealskin. Then they all went on safari, was to hunt for musk ox. We swept through the city, which took literally 20 seconds, and plunged into a snow-white chaos, to find a couple of animals. We almost immediately saw them. This is a very lazy (since I love to spend the extra energy), they just stare at you until you come close, and then they runs away just enough to once again feel safe. After the musk ox musk ox safari, we went to lunch at the town's only restaurant, called the Rowing Club. Brought us to a black crisp fried halibut, it was very tasty. I still have no voice came, and now disappeared, and appetite, which was very unfortunate, because the food was really good. We stood on the street, until cold (the night temperature was around 15 degrees Celsius). I really wanted to see the northern lights, but nothing happened. Organisers said - too bright moon. I went to bed early, hoping that tomorrow I'll feel better. We go on safari On Wednesday, I woke up still without a voice, but his throat ached considerably less. I sneezed all day, from what I had a runny nose. And yet I could not let this embarrassing event to prevent me from having fun! Early in the morning we went sightseeing to look at the ice sheet. The trip took a lot of time and the roads were not roads in the conventional sense. We made their way onto our truck / bus, and very often get stuck, so that had to be dug out, to continue driving. Yet the trip was wonderful, all around us for miles there was nothing but snow-white desert, a distance clearly could see the glacier. The continental ice sheet We stopped about half a kilometer away from the glacier, as the truck could not travel further. A little, we had to stop because the wind simply poured down in the end we achieved our goal. By the time it was about 20 degrees below zero and the wind seemed to be all 30. We are the eyes turned to icicles. But it was so beautiful, as if we are on the surface of another planet. Deadline for material:
