  I never expected Greenland to take up such infratructural projects for its sparse population

  I&apos;m from Nuuk, Greenland, and been following B1M for years. It&apos;s great to see this!

  This vid itself is a great advertisement for Greenland tourism. Never considered it until now.

  Yes! A video on Nuuk airport. Been following it for a long time, it&apos;s awesome to see the progress, and credits to all the channels posting updates on the progress too.

  I think the purpose of these airports is also to increase availability of goods to the small population. Living on an island I know how sparce some products can be, and how expensive it can be to bring something in. I mean, I&apos;ve been to some islands where you could be buying the only strawberries on the island at a supermarket, and they cost a fortune. These airports will increase the availability of some rarer products, and bring prices down. It&apos;s also likely to increase the availability of jobs, once more services can be offered from Greenland, and make it more attractive to people wanting to move there for said jobs. This would diversify the economy, making it bigger and more resilient. Not much can be said for the eventual environmental effect, but I would suppose this is necessary to ensure the future of the country.

  I would LOVE to visit Greenland one day. I like cold remote places as I don’t like people or sweating. Spending time in nature alone here sounds like heaven to me.

  Given that the slightest ice or snow grounds airports to a halt here in the UK, it&apos;s impressive that they could make an airport in places like this

  This aged well (Nuuk is starting jet flights to Denmark because it’s finished the renovation now)

  The architectural design of the airports seems very modern, while still retaining a sense of warmth and an atmosphere that feels inviting, especially considering the frigid environment in which they are being built. I wish them good luck and hope to visit someday.
