McGoohan Aug 2021 1:48pm, 26 Aug 2021 50,085 posts	0 McGoohan IIRC someone has Google streetviewed* on a trail out of central Nuuk into the sourrounding countryside. From what I could see, it gets very remote very quickly. *Using one of those backpack-carried cameras.

ITG 🇮🇸 Aug 2021 3:45pm, 26 Aug 2021 13,298 posts	0 ITG 🇮🇸 There are rocky bits like that all over Nuuk. Because it is so hilly, there are big mountainy bits (not all that high but not easy to clamber over, especially in winter) in between many of the cul de sacs. The two larger loops on the north east of your map, McGoo, are trails but otherwise, the roads are all paved and they are extremely well serviced with snow-clearning in the winter. There are no roads OUT of town though. You have to fly, boat or ski.

JRitchie Aug 2021 7:04am, 28 Aug 2021 2,570 posts	0 JRitchie I’ve caught up on those blogs. Thanks for (re)posting ITG. Looks beautiful and harsh in equal measure.
McGoohan Aug 2021 8:56am, 28 Aug 2021 50,095 posts	0 McGoohan I've just re-caught up on those - I'd missed a couple of them first time round. I love those picnic benches in the snow!
Sushi. Sep 2021 8:37pm, 4 Sep 2021 31,307 posts	0 Sushi. I've never been the first to explore a zone before but today I was. Just the one in the middle. The others had been visited before. It wasn't the swim it looks like either. It was a guided walk at low tide avoiding the sinking sands.
