Traveling with work has once again been a once-in-a-lifetime experience 🥰
I helped @_frydenrejn setting up the outside exhibitions around Kangerlussuaq Museum for World Heritage Site @aasivissuit_nipisat .
It really took a lot of flexibility and compromise, but I`m so happy that we know each other and feel comfortable working together while respecting and getting along with each other in private.
We got so much help from park ranger @aasivissuit_nipisat and would not have been able to do half of the things without his time and effort.
My mind is in so many places these days, so an intense work week in Kangerlussuaq averaging 12hours work days was really exactly what I needed.
There is still tomorrow, where we need to do some finishing touches, but the experience I have gained the last couple of days is unparalleled. . #aasivissuitnipisat #kangerlussuaqmuseum #sisimiutmuseum #qeqqatakommunia #museum #outdoorexhibition #travel #work
🇬🇧 Park ranger for a day! Yesterday we drove towards the icesheet and saw tent rings and possible children’s playground made with rocks. The ruins, we saw are not investigated by archeologists, therefore not dated or confirmed what they were used as. On the way, we also went so see future information place. We also saw wildlife, caribou, musk ox and arctic hare.
