The material was flown over from Brussels to Kopenhagen and blocked in customs for safety and administrative reasons.
In Greenland, communication, no matter how friendly, was more complicated than expected. Very few fishermen spoke english.

We only had 10 days, due to lack of money and time.

A period of 10 days is too short to speculate on natural events. For half of our brief stay in Greenland, Dirk, Hans and I have been wandering around in the snow, hoping for the material would fly in any other day and especially hoping the fishermen would be lucky, which is an ambiguous thing to say, from our point of view.

The day before our departure, we heard some belugas had been spotted but did not enter the bay. Only the narwhals did.
