^ I'll second that. Greenland is my number one destination for a variety of reasons including how removed it is from the rest of the world, the fact that its ground zero for climate change, the geology, and the sheer beauty of every picture I've seen of the place.
With Icelandic tourism booming I expect we'll see direct flights to Greenland again within the next 5 years or so. Its unfortunate that Air Greenland tried their one attempt to fly here in the depths of the recession.
