#Greenland, flight from Kulusuk to Narsarsuaq. The beauty of the landscape the 3 planes - the #Beech 18 from 1952 with a hot air balloon at the back, the Vans RV8 kit airplane and the #Piper Saratoga - are crossing during this TransAtlantic is untellable...

But do you now the Legend about Greenland and #Iceland? Once upon a time, war broke out among Norwegian Vikings. One band launched the boats and fled. They discovered a green island and settled. Afraid that their enemies might pursue them, they sent word back to #Norway that their island was actually an ice-land, but that another island — more distant, larger and indeed covered by ice — was inhabitable green-land. And so the green island became Iceland, and the icy island became Greenland. Reverse branding at it's best ;-).

Shame but apparently, it's an urban legend...
