Aerial view of Nuuk (which sounds like "nuke") is the capital of Greenland. The city is sometimes difficult to reach because of fog which can dominate the mountains and fjords that constitute the geography of Nuuk."Nuuk" means "promontory" which above photo demonstrates. Located at North 64 degrees 10.581 minutes; West 051 degrees 43.857 minutes, Nuuk has a mild climate. Because of its relative ice-free condition and patches of flat terrain, the Nuuk region constituted the "Western Settlements" of the Vikings for about the first four centuries of the last millennium.
