Greenland 1999
I spent three months in Greenland during the summer of 1999. I managed a fishing camp on the river Amitsuarsuk, 70 km south of the town of Maniitsoq. The fishing was incredible with as many char as one would like at any point in time. The area around the camp was practically virgin land, which gave the ultimate impression of this barren, rugged yet beautiful country.
