Nuuk
Nuuk (Greenlandic pronunciation: [nuːk]; Danish: Godthåb) is the capital and largest city of Greenland. It is the seat of government and the country's largest cultural and economic centre. The major cities closest to the capital are Iqaluit and St. John's in Canada and Reykjavík in Iceland. Nuuk is the seat of government for the Sermersooq municipality. In January 2015, it had a population of 16,992, making it one of the smallest capital cities in the world by population.
Nuuk is the Kalaallisut word for "cape". It is so named because of its position at the end of the Nuup Kangerlua fjord on the eastern shore of the Labrador Sea. Its latitude, at 64°10' N, makes it the world's northernmost capital, located only a few kilometres further north than the Icelandic capital Reykjavík.
History
The site has a long history of habitation. The area around Nuuk was first occupied by the ancient pre-Inuit, Paleo-Eskimo people of the Saqqaq culture as far back as 2200 BC when they lived in the area around the now abandoned settlement of Qoornoq. For a long time it was occupied by the Dorset culture around the former settlement of Kangeq but they disappeared from the Nuuk district before AD 1000. The Nuuk area was later inhabited by Viking explorers in the 10th century, and shortly thereafter by Inuit peoples. Inuit and Norsemen both lived with little interaction in this area from about 1000 until the disappearance of the Norse settlement for uncertain reasons during the 15th century.

Not Enough
by: Emmylou HarrisOh my darling I miss you so
How I loved you you'll never know
Though it's time for me to let you go
Oh my darling I'll miss you so
Can't believe you're really gone for good
I still hold on to places you once stood
I should move on but I never could
Really believe you're gone for good
Oh my friend, what could I do?
I just came home to bury you
The road is long, the road is rough
You're in my heart, that's not close enough
All those years disappear
All my tears are not enough, not enough
How can it be the ties that bind
Cut down deep and are so unkind?
When we lose them we will never find
Anything stronger than the ties that bind
I still have your memory
One or two pictures of you and me
Life is long and life is tough
But when you love someone
