Nuuk (Greenlandic pronunciation: [nuːk]; Danish: Godthåb) is the capital and largest city of Greenland. It is the seat of government and the country's largest cultural and economic centre. The major cities closest to the capital are Iqaluit and St. John's in Canada and Reykjavík in Iceland. Nuuk is the seat of government for the Sermersooq municipality. In January 2015, it had a population of 16,992, making it one of the smallest capital cities in the world by population.
Nuuk is the Kalaallisut word for "cape". It is so named because of its position at the end of the Nuup Kangerlua fjord on the eastern shore of the Labrador Sea. Its latitude, at 64°10' N, makes it the world's northernmost capital, located only a few kilometres further north than the Icelandic capital Reykjavík.
The site has a long history of habitation. The area around Nuuk was first occupied by the ancient pre-Inuit, Paleo-Eskimo people of the Saqqaq culture as far back as 2200 BC when they lived in the area around the now abandoned settlement of Qoornoq. For a long time it was occupied by the Dorset culture around the former settlement of Kangeq but they disappeared from the Nuuk district before AD 1000. The Nuuk area was later inhabited by Viking explorers in the 10th century, and shortly thereafter by Inuit peoples. Inuit and Norsemen both lived with little interaction in this area from about 1000 until the disappearance of the Norse settlement for uncertain reasons during the 15th century.
Greenland (Greenlandic: Kalaallit Nunaat [kaˈlaːɬit ˈnunaːt]; Danish: Grønland [ˈɡ̊ʁɶnˌlanˀ]) is an autonomous country within the Danish Realm, located between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans, east of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. Though physiographically a part of the continent of North America, Greenland has been politically and culturally associated with Europe (specifically Norway and Denmark, the colonial powers, as well as the nearby island of Iceland) for more than a millennium. In 2008, the people of Greenland passed a referendum supporting greater autonomy; 75% of votes cast were in favour. Greenland is the world's largest island, over three-quarters of which is covered by the only permanent ice sheet outside of Antarctica. With a population of about 56,480 (2013), it is the least densely populated country in the world.
Greenland has been inhabited off and on for at least the last 4,500 years by Arctic peoples whose forebears migrated there from what is now Canada.Norsemen settled the uninhabited southern part of Greenland beginning in the 10th century, and Inuit peoples arrived in the 13th century. The Norse colonies disappeared in the late 15th century. In the early 18th century, Scandinavia and Greenland came back into contact with each other, and Denmark-Norway affirmed sovereignty over the island.

MY LAST VIDEO: https://youtu.be/HBme8R0jv44 I'm in Greenland! A dream come true! I just arrived and I haven't even seen much yet, it's only going to get better and yet, I can't believe a place like this exists. It's a COMPLETE Winter Wonderland which I love, the people are so nice and I have the strange, comfortable, warm fuzzy feeling within me about this place. Maybe because it's not yet over discovered by people from around the world, maybe because it's such a foreign place which I didn't know much about at all. One day, I would love to see myself having a cute little house here in this strange, unique and intriguing land. And the trip has only just begun. Enjoy my Greenland Vlog 1. Many more to come. Lots of love to you always. Sorelle... PS. If you like what I do, help suppo...

That is why the young people in Nuuk like to refer to the town as Nuuk York as an homage to The Big Apple. Are there similarities between those two cities?

The Scottish capital of Edinburgh is one of the world’s most beautiful cities. Its Old Town and Royal Mile are filled with the ghosts of medieval merchants, body snatchers, and poets, while its Georgian-styled New Town shines with the glories of the Scottish Enlightenment. To see Edinburgh in all her glory, climb to Arthur’s Seat, the highest of the city’s seven peaks. Some historians believe this was the site of King Arthur’s legendary castle Camelot. Nearby, on another volcanic crag, rises Edinburgh Castle, the very symbol of Scotland itself. Over the last eleven centuries, this castle has been laid siege to 26 times but still it stands, a testimony to the indomitable spirit of the Scots. Edinburgh has long held a special place in the hearts of the monarchy. Her Majesty’s Yacht Br...

Tus ojos dejan ver la verdad
sé que llueve desde que no está
sé también que no es fácil estar solo
hay tanto que olvidar si el amor
se arrepiente y dice que se va
sin querer, el corazón
mira hacia atrás
y no hay forma de aprender
a estar vivo y no caer
tropezar
y empezar otra vez
CORO
No preguntes por qué
ya no sois los de ayer
que es un juego sin reglas la pasión
que te puedo ayudar
que te ayude a curar
las heridas que deja el desamor
si tan solo hay dolor
ya habrá un tiempo mejor
De nada sirve ya remover
las cenizas que dejó el placer
no vendrá, no repitas más su nombre
que aunque te engañes el adios
es calle de una sola dirección
se marchó
y hay que dar
cuerda al corazón
CORO
Se que estas tocando fondo
pero asómate
la ciudad te está invitando
vamos muevete
Que otros labios de mujer
te darán mañana de beber
volverás
a sentir
otra vez
CORO
