This book is not about a world-conquering superhero.
Nor will it help make you one.
These are the travels of an everyday man, inviting you to come break away from the everyday.
Welcome to Greenland -- We hope you enjoy the trip!...

In the course of my travels in Greenland I couldn't say with any real certainty what I was looking for; the indefinable notions of freedom and adventure, I suppose, along with some very tangible Viking ruins. But beyond these I didn't know what I was after.Odd it was then when I realized I had found it.Tikilluarit Kalaallit Nunaaat ~ Welcome to wonderful, breathtaking Greenland!
Do tupilaks really harbor supernatural powers? Is there more than one way to spell 'Ittoqqoortoormiit'? And just why is sleeping in a tent in this icy, rainy land better than a beachfront hotel in Waikiki? These questions are only the tip of the iceberg of mysteries and surprises Damjan Koncnik uncovers over three expeditions to this island 'way up there.' Chock full of history, humor and hardship, these tales of an everyday man's adventures in the Far North will stoke the imaginative fires of avid travelers and armchair explorers alike.
'...For this is a land that charms and enchants; beckons and then broods; pulls you in with promise and then punishes you with her whims. Taking on this vast, wondrous island, one can not help but discover a world of adventure. Making peace with the land, one just may find contentment within himself.'
