Greenland is the home of Inuit natives and northern Europeans. Once settled by Norsemen, it is a part of the Kingdom of Denmark, (with home rule). The world's biggest island at 836,330 square miles, it has a population of fewer than 60,000 souls who are mostly Evangelical Lutheran, but retain shamanistic cultural ties. One shaman, asked about Inuit beliefs, said, "We don't believe. We fear."
Their stories include those of a vengeful and fingerless sea goddess who controlled the success of the seal and whale hunts.

I often wonder about how Joseph Campbell would like to have seen photos like these. Here are some particularly striking of NASA's offerings. Just staggering in their comprehension when you stop to consider what they represent. Yet utterly mesmerizing in their overwhelming beauty.
