This travelogue is a short (9,000 word) personal account of a week spent in Greenland during the summer of 2004 in Kangelussuak and Sisimiut. It is in the style of "A Brit in Iceland" (first published 2004) and describes a trip which provided some of the inspiration for "Vikings in America", published 2009 Birlinn Edinburgh ISBN 978-1-84158-959-6 (reprint 2011).Travellers are used to venturing to some seemingly remote spot, only to find on arrival that the remoteness of past years has gone, and that their particular end-of-the-world destination has been colonised by McDonalds. Not so Greenland. Greenland 2004 is still pretty much the end of the world. Here civilisation ends. This is still Thule Ultima.
