MALIK ARCTICA Freighter unloading at Qaanaaq, Greenland.
This is one of the Northernmost inhabited places in the world, and the town may get only one or two freighter visits per year.

Utility boats at Qaanaaq, Greenland. These are on the other side of the pier from the freighter I posted a couple of days ago. They are not pleasure boats, in the far north there are few traditional jobs, and the fishing, hunting, and trapping these boats support is critical for many to make a living.

Mike, It certainly looks like a hard life in the Arctic Circle - Looking on the Google map Qaanaaq seems pretty isolated. Only a couple of freighters a year - I think we have got too accustomed to next day deliveries.-?
