You don’t have to be OF in Greenland for very long to realize that all activities INATSISARTUT depend on the weather. It is very unpredictable, and things happen only if they are BY BORIS BRORMAN JENSEN possible. This is probably why Greenlanders have learned to say "perhaps" (Immaqa). “I will come round and pick you up Monday morning and give you a tour of Nuuk, immaqa.” Maybe that is the reason why Greenlanders are often accused of being fatalistic. This may to some extent be true, but anyone who mistakes a level-headed attitude to life with resignation or a lack of confidence in their own ability to act should take a trip to Greenland with “Immaqa Airlines,” in order to put their prejudices to the test. I can understand the pragmatic attitude to life you have to adopt here, but my nervous system tells me that I have difficulties “ Those who have dared venture accepting that the forces of out in the flooded streets of Nuuk smile nature continually overrule my plans. Being stranded on a to each other indulgently.” deserted island or being lost in the middle of the Greenland ice sheet would be easier to accept. But this is the capital of Greenland, and right next to the hotel you can buy authentic Thai food as well as a freshly brewed cafe latte. Here, culture ought to rule supreme, but it does so only on the surface. Even in the center of the largest town of Greenland, nature always has a strong presence. It is always right there in your face, even when the weather is fine. People here don’t tend to complain a lot about the weather. The weather is a shared condition of life.
