We made it back to Kangerlussuaq, where the river waters had risen and the fjord was gorgeous. There was humidity in the air and the small town somehow seemed a bustling metropolis. Insects buzzed the shuttle bus, we were able to ride bikes and walk around town without worry of windchill or postholing through the top layer of ground.
Lance and I decided to hike over the ridge to reach the end of the season bbq. It was well worth it to stretch the legs and experience browns that somehow oozed vibrancy. The gathering occurred on Lake Ferguson, even though it is frozen most of the year that particular day it was warm and welcoming.
It was a nice end to a summer season in Greenland and a great place to transition before experiencing crowded airports and a climate that is amiable. I am back in the States and currently enjoying free lightning quick internet as I wait for my flight to depart home. The Air National Guard flight went smoothly yesterday and as we departed I certainly felt gratitude for my time in Greenland and the folks who made it possible.
