Year in the Greenlandic Inuit language is ukioq, which is actually the same word for winter. Winter lasts most of a year. There is snow and there is ice, saltwater ice and freshwater ice, snow covered ice and icebergs. White in varying shades depending first and foremost on the angle and intensity of incoming light, be it stars, moonlight, the sky, clouds, northern lights – yes, and of course the sun. There are periods in winter and in late fall where the sun is low that give these reddish nuances at first sunrise and late sunset, similar though different, that give you flaming reddish icebergs. In overcast weather the same icebergs can radiate beautifully blue nuances. Such a description depicts pristine nature, literally clean in all aspects of the word. The air is very low on humidity the further north of the arctic circle you get. That feels fresh and clean, too.
