Photo by @martinedstrom Swipe for a panorama of the town of Tasiilaq, in eastern Greenland.
⠀
Most of eastern Greenland freezes over every year, leaving residents isolated for the duration of the winter, until ships can come back in spring. During those dark months, there's no way to leave by boat, as a band of ice off the coast grows thick. Most people on Greenland live on the western coast, which is milder and open all year long (no band of ice). Yet Tasiilaq is actually the largest settlement on the eastern coast of Greenland, and the seventh largest town in Greenland.
Without consulting the internet, can you guess how many live here? #greenland #panorama #arctic
