| Finally had a good window seat on a clear day when the north atlantic windiness forced us to fly over the southern tip of Greenland. From far away, I saw what I thought were a bunch of fishing boats, but as we got closer, I could see they were icebergs (or the tips thereof), gleaming in the sun. |

As for the landmass itself, I saw some low rocky hills or small mountains jutting up out of the ice and snow close to the ocean, fading into an endless flat white expanse of snow heading inland. No vegetation or any other sign of life. |

| I stopped at the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, and got some tourist curios. I had been there in 2004, too, but my coffee cup got broken (got a new one). This place is worth the trip if the weather's nice. Long walk up a hill to get to it. |
