HE mentioned that there is a typical highpressure area over Greenland which maintains a decent weather forecast through August/September. But he did say there was less snow in evidence than he had expected, even though there were plenty of bergie bits and a few icebergs to dodge.

There has been a recent flap in Greenland caused by a bid from a giant Japanese conglomerate to buy the northern end of the island and build a golf course resort there, in anticipation of the changing climate attracting business there.

I did send the text of the chorus to Stan's song to Richard's blog, and he greatly appreciated it, not having heard the song before.
