Greenland is a beautiful place to live, but it’s very cold. In Nuuk, the capital
city, a “hot” summer day doesn’t go above 11ºC. Summer days and winter
nights are very long in Greenland. In the summer, the sun shines all day and
night. It never becomes dark. But in the winter, it’s dark during the day. In the
city of Qaanaaq, people don’t see the sun for about three months!
Greenland is home to about 58,000 people. They enjoy the long summer days
because they can stay out late. Children meet friends and play in the street
because it isn’t dark outside. But it’s different in the winter. It isn’t easy to play
football or ride your bike in the dark. Many teenagers go to boarding school
from the age of 16. At school, they’ve got friends to do activities with when it’s
dark outside. Other teenagers start work at age 16 or stay at home and help their
parents. Winter isn’t fun for those teens.
Life is sometimes hard in Greenland, but Greenlanders love their home and it’s
a wonderful place to visit. Thousands of people travel to Greenland every year
to experience the dark winter days and light summer nights.
