Cosa tratta questo video
Micha and the crew of the sailing vessel arrive in Ittoqqortoormiit, Greenland, after navigating north from the glacier fjord.1:08 The town, located at the mouth of the Scoresby Sund—the world’s largest fjord system—serves as a remote resupply point where diesel costs approximately 60 cents per liter.5:56 During the stop, the crew clears customs via a personal visit from local authorities and visits the local supermarket to restock provisions.4:38 The settlement, which maintains its own UTC-1 time zone, remains the most isolated town in Greenland, situated 500 kilometers from the nearest inhabited location in Iceland.7:34 The crew also visits the nearby abandoned settlement of Uunarteq, which was vacated in 2003 after its telegraph station relocated.3:53 As a closing weather window begins to shut, the crew prepares for a 27-hour passage westward toward Scoresby Sund to avoid an approaching storm front characterized by roll clouds.10:21
