Greenland - the world's largest island, a continent of its own with only 57.000 inhabitants. I visited it for the first time in May 2005. I flew across the inland ice to Nuuk, the tiny capital with some 14.000 inhabitants. I was overwhelmed by the pride and kindness of everyone I met as well as by the unique natural beauty.

Unfortunately, due to weather conditions during my ten-day stay I could get nowhere else but Nuuk. Fortunately, however, among those I met was Gitte Arvegaard, a Danish lawyer and negotiator employed by the local government, Greenland Home Rule. She turned out to be an enthusiastic photographer with a lot of pictures taken during various trips around Greenland.

So this Greeland series is the result of our cooperative effort. We both hope you enjoy it and are stimulated to visit Greenland - about which you may read more here.

Finally, if you want to use a picture or have questions, comments or suggestions, please write to us at greenlandphoto@transnational.org.

The first series were uploaded in October 2005. We will post more series as they are created. So do come back and see more pictures from this breathtakingly beautiful island.
