The Moon Landing
Words by Dalene Heck / Photography by Pete Heck
Without question, the terrain in Greenland is unlike anything we have ever experienced.
It is completely other-worldly, a phrase I may have used in the past to describe other locales, but now I realize that such use was naive and excessive.
Because nothing, nothing, can compare to this remote corner of the Arctic.
Until such time as we can visit the moon (!), we believe that we have come as close as possible on earth.

Whoaaa, you guys are in Greenland! That’s amazing! I think this is the first blog which covers that part of the world. I must say I’m really inspired to venture that far now! 🙂

Other worldly indeed! Incredible
Very cool. Such moody landscapes with the gray weather.

Damn you guys!! Yet another item on my bucket list thanks to your blogging :))
Haha! Sorry Jeff (not really). 🙂
So otherworldly, wow!!!
I’ve never heard of anyone going to Greenland and I had no idea what to expect when I clicked this. Wow! Camping on the moon, pretty cool!
Those are some awesome pics, guys. By the way, I’ve been to outerspace loads of times and you’re right: it’s definitely the closest thing on Earth to the moon.

Thanks for the confirmation Noah. Knew we could count on you.
Ooooo a bit eerie but very, very cool! Great photos. I hope you’re both having a blast. I can’t wait to read more.
Happy travels 🙂
Wow. Yeah, very moon-like indeed! Amazing to imagine that untouched places like this still exist!
Your pictures are beautiful! I’ve had the same thought about the tundra in parts of Alaska – it’s so different then anything I’m used to that sometimes I can’t believe it’s real.

Very cool photos! For some reason, I really like the ones you guys are physically in.
Seeing all those landscapes -is- otherworldly, but then seeing you in those landscapes quickly makes me remember, wow this is an actual place we can visit! Pretty awesome.
Thanks for sharing!
Greenland, wow. I was in Iceland last and contemplated dashing up there but it never quite happened. One quick question. What are the costs?
It is fabulous to be reading posts on Greenland and I am, admittedly enthralled and ever more curious to delve further into the culture and to find a way to explore this stunning landscape in person! Your images of stark grey stone layered in lava red seaweed are beautiful and very inspiring!

Great photos guys, sure looks like another planet there.
Wow! looks awesome… true wilderness
Wow, and I thought China’s karst formations were other worldly!

Absolutely amazing pictures, guys! Wow
That was just amazing to see, however what have brought me to your photos is i was asked the question “why is Greenland an island and not a continent?” I received one answer saying it had something to do with the moon.
Unreal to think that such an amazing and sparse landscape is so close to home!
