From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - Panorama over Naajaat, August 9, 2007. With its 63 inhabitants, Naajaat is one of the smallest settlements in the Qaasuitsup municipality of Greenland. There are no shops in the settlement. The blue building to the left is used as both church, school, and village hall. The Greenland ice sheet is seen to the left (distance 22 km) wherefrom icebergs are calved off and drift by the settlement.
Edit 1. Reduced exposure to recover some detail in highlights. However, some blown highlights remain in the ice
Reason
This rarely visited place can only be visited via helicopter from Upernavik or by private boat. The weather was exceptionally good on this day with really good visibility, calm wind, clear sky and sun. The individual photos are from a compact camera and not excellent, nor was my original stitch from 2007. However, Noodle snacks was been so kind to give it another try with stitching it, and I think we has managed to get the best possible out of it, and I now dare to nominate it. My English is not great. Thus, reviewers are encouraged to tweak the caption is needed. --Slaunger (talk) 20:05, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
