Dundas (outside base) June the 2nd, 1984., here is one of a little richer native Greenlandic - he was odd most well dressed and spoke perfectly Danish - unfortunately we didn't get his wife with on the picture - she was so pretty.

June Thule 1984, the road against J-site.

 

June the 2nd, 1984 graveyard at Dundas - outside base, it's a special graveyard - due to the permanent frost in the dirt it's not possible to dig deep into the ground, in the summer typical less than 2 feet - then you put stones on top of the grave and also fence around the graveyard to protect against polar bears, and arctic foxes.

 

June the 2nd, 1984 one of the very old peat cabins which were used for more than 100 years ago? Finally I was able to get Jorn of one of the pictures hi-hi.

 

June the 2nd, 1984 outside base - Mount Dundas - without any snow. summer is just around the corner - and this is written the 10. of July 1984 - we have 30 degrees in the sun behind the cabin - and vi have 28 degrees inside. So a little tough to fall a sleep for the time being - so believe it or not: the weather is fantastic - you shall try it. Everybody writes home about and they thing we are crazy - so one of the barrack-maids took pictures of the others sunbathing in swimsuits - that close to the North Pole!!! Carsten was sun burned.

 

June the 2nd, 1984 trip in the mountains - outside the base - and a refreshingly soft drink is good - up here the air is very thin.

 

June the 2nd, 1984, Dundas (outside base) Knud Rasmussens house - which they were pealing down - made it ready for shipment to Qannaq? We made our way around the house - and he had a wonderful view from his house.
