The Trucks of Greenland

[Chuckles!]

Inspired by the "Trucks of Iceland" article released this month on the site, I thought I would post some pictures of the vehicles that I saw running around the town of Kangerlussuaq, Greenland. Formerly called Sondrestrom, and originally Bluie West-8 airbase from our Cold War exploits. Home of about 500 people, servicing the largest airfield in the country.


And a nice weird mix of American and Euro trucks running around, wheeled and tracked, in varying states of repair.

First up, the American iron:

A sweet old FC Jeep wasting away in the Arctic Circle:

Unimogs are always around:

Land Rovers, Toyotas, 4WD vans, and big-tire glacier explorers:

And HUGE trucks!!!!!!! Air-cooled diesel Magirus-Deutz, and MAN KAT1:

And finally, when wheels won't do it, some crazy tracked vehicles probably can:
