The northeastern part of Greenland is the world’s largest national park. Climate change is a great danger to flora and fauna here. We know that the fastest warming is in this area. I captured some photos of the most frequently seen flowers, and not surprisingly they are mostly white and very small.
Labrador tea ( S.skvattram)
White cotton grass.
Not sure…alpine bartsia? (S. svarthö)
Round-leaved wintergreen (S.Pyrola)
Woolly lousewort ( S. Ullspira)
Let’s finish with a bird – a lapland bunting. At sea there are other birds, but they will have to wait.
In the header – surprisingly a Fritillary came along. But it was also the only butterly we saw!

These are probably the first examples of plant life I have seen from Greenland . . . nature still having a will and a way even on that freezing continent . . . ________________________________
These are absolutely gorgeous! Sweden is paradise or near to it.
Thank you so, so much! I’ve never seen, nor even heard of these species, they’re al so pretty and I thoroughly enjoyed ”examining” them – from afar. Lovely post! xx
Lovely little flowers.
