I hadn't thought of it that way ... but no, after BOS and EWR, not so much.

Does this mean you're going to Greenland?
Ja, staying at a friend's comfortable apartment in Nuuk tonight. Out the window right now,
glacier-carved gneiss and a twilight view of peaks across the fjord.

Tame indoors adventures on this trip. But I'll see what I can post later. It's pretty up here.

The best airport story on the trip so far was the one we didn't land at. The flight from Kangerlussuaq was supposed to stop in Maniitsoq along the way to Nuuq. But Maniitsoq was socked in.
Four times, the Dash 7 dropped steeply into the soup, searching for an invisible landing strip. Now and then I got a nervous view of waves crashing against rocks about 50 meters below our plane. Most of the time, you could barely see the wings.
So the fog was too thick. Four times, the pilot would suddenly retract the landing gear again, climb steeply and bank into the clouds, presumably avoiding an unseen mountain.
After about an hour of this, the plane returned to Kangerlussuaq to refuel. As we landed there safely, the passengers applauded the pilot in thanks -- a fine Greenlandic tradition.
