I got my bags packed on a roll heading out there and I'm ready to go looking real good

in my passport photo.

Amateur Traveler episode 512. Today the Amateur Traveler talks about

glaciers and reindeer, Musk Oxen, and the Arctic Circle Trail as we go to Greenland.

I know that I should be heading home

but maybe not, maybe not today.

Welcome to the amateur traveler. I'm your host Chris Christensen. Before we get into

the episode today on Greenland I should tell you this is going to be an

episode that you really ought to look at the pictures because our guest is a wonderful

photographer and I have been enjoying his work so either check out the show notes and the

link to the articles that he wrote on Greenland or use the iTunes enhanced version of the show with pictures and links.

And now let's hear about Greenland.

I'd like to welcome to the show Matthew Carston from expert Vagabond who's come to talk to us about Greenland

Matthew welcome to the show thank you Chris it's great to be here it seems a little odd to have the expert Vagabond on the amateur traveler but there's something to also it seems just right about that.

I can't wait to have the expert vagabond on the amateur traveler, but there's something to also it seems just right about that.

I can't wait to dive into this with you.

And we just went to a conference together last week and Matthew was telling me about this trip and I thought it

would be something that you guys would like to hear also. So why did you go to

Greenland in the first place? I had heard about Greenland from a friend and when I

think of Greenland I'm sure like a lot of people,

you think it's just a bunch of snow and ice sheets, yes.

Yeah, why would you go there on a vacation?
