Qaqortoq

Qaqortoq is a picturesque little town in southern Greenland. With a population of only about 3,400, they were overrun today with the ship's passenger complement of almost the same number. Good thing we had to be tendered into port in small groups!






Weather was a little bit cloudy and a little bit cool, but much more comfortable than what we experienced in Nuuk.

Qaqortoq is the only town in Greenland with a fountain in the town square.


And in the early 90's, a Qaqortoq artist and other Nordic artists chiseled designs in the rock faces in town. 


And through the miracle of modern technology, I was able to go into the bank in Qaqortoq and use the ATM there to withdraw 500 Danish Krone from our bank account in Victoria!  Wish we'd got a picture of that!
