Celebrating Constitution Day from Greenland


"Gratulere med dage Norway. What a perfect 17th of May. We had a chilly morning at -22 degrees, a full day of sunshine, and nice snow conditions. We had a long great day, skiing almost 16 miles.


Personally, I celebrated this day with Kvikk Lunsj and reindeer heart from Pasvik in my soup and dinner." -Update from Dirk.


Every year on May 17th, Norway bursts into a sea of red, white, and blue as Norwegians celebrate their Constitution Day, known as "Syttende Mai." This vibrant national holiday marks the signing of the Norwegian Constitution in 1814, a pivotal moment when Norway declared independence from Denmark. The day is a joyful and inclusive celebration of freedom, democracy, and national pride. We're glad Dirk had some time today to celebrate the day!


All is well on the ice!
