Moody day hike in Young Sound, Greenland

by Maria Scheel, Aarhus University, Roskilde, Denmark

With daily shifting wind directions and weather due to the close vicinity to the Greenland Ice Sheet, every day at Zackenberg Station, NE Greenland, brings new and every changing conditions. While taking a causal trip to the closeby historic Zackenberg hut at the foot of the namesake Zackenberg Mountain, shifting low clouds and late fall sun illuminated a hiker in a mysterious light.
