Reindeer is good and muskox is quite tasty too. And its all 100% free range organic fresh and cheap (in season). Fish, whale, and seal is an acquired delicacy.
Most everything imported (which is a lot of 'normal' food) is very expensive. Like a wilted yellow broccoli for $10, but we have abundant vitamin rich flora four months of the year. Most of my veggies are frozen, milk is sealed ultra pasteurized, eggs are expensive. There has been some success growing barley and other grain in the south which hadn't grown there in 400 years. We've got potatoes and such in the fjord whose output is small, but packed with flavor and vitamins (the best though most expensive strawberries come from near the arctic region, such as Norway).Interesting. Hopefully this growth continues and some financial burden is lifted from the locals. Those block apartments could use some new paint
I had the musk ox as well. Delicious. Whale was also quite good.

Living in the city here is as I imagine it will be like to live on Mars. Its extremely modern though you never lose touch of the extremities around you.
This is probably the best way to describe it. The lack of infrastructure between towns/settlements really gives it that feeling of near-isolation.

We've got flight connections through Copenhagen and Iceland. There are charters from Canada and the States, typically from the mining and oil industry, but also tourist scientific expeditions.
I think flying to Reykjavik and then to Greenland is still the cheapest option, and it's still damn expensive for such a short flight. I would not want to pay direct from the US/Canada.

I read some news article where a bunch of prude women in Iceland banned all porn. I don't think that was quite it but my memory was fuzzy and it was something like this.

They succeeded in banning the production of pornography in Iceland. Very, very tragic. They also ended their flirtation with prostitution.
Goed, ek wil graag jou mooi land gaan besoek.
My concern with Iceland is that there are simply too few people.

If you mean Iceland and not Greenland, just consider that the majority of the population resides in and around Reykjavik. When you go around the island you will come across almost depressingly small towns, but the city population is substantial.
Also, Iceland is probably the most beautiful place on earth <3
The western fjords... goddamn!
Oh yeah and Ron Paul and BC and stuff!
