Lately (past 3-4 months), on most of my studyhalls and a good portion of my free time on the internet, I've been doing something strange, that just "happened". No porn, nothing weird. I'm always reading about the arctic. Northwest Territories, the Yukon, Nunavut, Greenland, Alaska, Svalbard, places like that. I'll often go on google maps and just look at satellite images of barren arctic plains, inuit villages, and small weather bases/whaling towns. Sometimes I'll browse panoramics of areas like this on Flickr, or read the weather data, or road maps.
What I'm saying is I have this unnatural obsession with all things arctic, and I don't know how to cope. I REALLY want to go there, sort of like, "to get the bug out of me", just to see what there is to see and shelve up another cool memory.
I'm seriously considering flying solo to Nuuk, the capital of greenland, and just checking out fjords, ice shelves, coast, mountains, whatever. It will be tough, I'll have to fly to iceland, and then heli hop town to town until we get to Nuuk. But it will make for one HELL of a memory.
Basically, how far north have you been, what did you think, and why should/shouldn't I do this? Kind of a dumb thread, but I figured I'd throw it out there in the open and receptive environment that NSG creates. Haha.
