Some months ago, SAS added Greenland to their schedule again. As a long time fan of the nordic countries, I immediately booked a Miles & More-Award-Ticket to this arctic Island, costing 30.000 Miles in Economy.

Unfortunately, SAS uses the former US-Airbase of Kangerlussuaq (Søndre Stromfjord). More precisely said: An airport somewhere in the middle of nowhere. Therefore I booked some domestic flights on Greenland as well: Kangerlussuaq - Nuuk - Narsassuaq and back.

Narsassuaq is a tiny town in the south of the country. There are many medieval ruins - the are was settled by Scandinavians in the Viking age (around 985 AD), and the last settlers died perhaps around 1450. As somebody, who is doing a Ph.D. in Scandinavian History, I just had to visit that area.

But first, I had to get there somehow.
