Being located above the Arctic Circle, Sisimiut is dotted with groups of sled dogs being kept between the houses. Planning has a quite different context when discussions on housing issues include discussions on where to keep the dogs!
As Air Greenland doesn't fly on weekends, one must fly in Friday in order to be ready to start working Monday morning. This provided time for more leisure-like activities, such as a long dogsled ride Sunday. Above Lisbeth - all dressed up in sealskin on top of her usual winter attire - and apart from the inconvenience of almost not being able to move, it did keep her warm through the whole trip. And below is the lovely ride...

Oh, lovely! I've always wanted to go up to the (proper) North, and a dog sled trip would be on my list of things to do for sure. Glad you enjoyed it - and the photos are gorgeous!
It was pretty great - despite a pretty bad 'intertanglement' with another dogsled while driving back down the track...
I'm now itching to go to Arctic Canada to see if it is as different to Greenland as told :)
