Greenland is a beautiful place to live, but it is very cold. In Nuuk, the capital city, a “hot” summer day doesn’t go above 11oC! Summer days and winter nights are very long in Greenland. In summer, there’s sun all day and night. It never gets dark! But in the winter months, it’s dark for many hours during the day. In the city of Qaanaaq, people don’t see the sun for about three months!

Greenland is home to about 58,000 people and they enjoy the long summer days. They can go out and do activities until it’s very late. Children meet friends and play in the street because it isn’t dark outside. But in winter, people can’t do many activities outside – day or night. It isn’t easy to play football or ride your bike in the dark! Many teenagers go to boarding school from the age of 16. At school, they’ve got friends to talk to and have fun with, so winter isn’t boring. Some teenagers start work at 16 or stay at home and help their parents, but there aren’t many places for them to have fun in winter.

In Nuuk, people can go to concerts and museums. There are discotheques, cafés, and places to go shopping. Only 15,000 people live in Nuuk, but there are a lot of things to do there. Other towns are very small, with only a few hundred people or less. They are far away from everything and life is very different there. People have a more traditional life, and they live by hunting and fishing. But even in the small towns, most people in Greenland have some way to get the Internet! Teens can surf the web, download songs and chat online. They can also watch TV, talk on the phone, and send text messages. In some ways, they are like teens everywhere in the world.

Life is sometimes hard in Greenland, but Greenlanders love their home and it’s a wonderful place to visit. Thousands of adventurous people travel to Greenland every year to experience the dark winter days and light summer nights.
