Desolate remains

The remains of what was once a hunting and whaling cabin on Danmark Ø, strategically overlooking the mouth of Fonfjord and the distant Volquaart von Kyst moutains on the Gaseland penninsula where it meets Scoresby Sund, East Greenland. Until recently people from the Thule culture lived on the island and remains of their rock and turf winter houses can be seen near the old cabin.

    After all the empty (but beautiful) landscapes, it looks odd to see the remains of a habitation of some kind. Imagine living in such a desolate area.

    Desolate is the perfect word. It looks like a cold and unwelcoming place to be. Nicely captured.

    It looks like nature wins this battle. This reminds me of the scientific stations on the Antarctic Peninsula and wonder how they survive. And, thank you for your kind remarks I had not noticed the pampa grass behind the gauchos.
