Paul's Greenland Ramblings
Paul's Greenland Ramblings
Greenland is an amazing place. I'm not usually one for journaling in
the field outside my geologic notes but something about this landscape and its people made
me want to write. Perhaps it was a need to comprehend the enormity of
it all or its fragility? So, here are my daily ramblings. There's some science but
mostly just me trying to make sense of a place really, really different
than where I live day to day. Greenland was a wonderful place to be, and work, and hike, and live. I
miss it already.
