The shining: my trip to the G7 summit with Emmanuel Macron | Emmanuel Carrere
Briefly

Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, consists of colorful prefab buildings and low apartment blocks on a rocky coastline. A statue of Hans Egede stands on a hill, symbolizing colonial history and facing removal threats. High-profile political leaders, including the Greenlandic and Danish prime ministers and the French president, returned from an ice trip amidst the G7 summit context in Canada. While important officials and planners navigated tight schedules, many others, including writers and photographers, explored Nuuk's unusual climate while awaiting their return.
Nuuk features a blend of orange prefab buildings and grey apartment blocks, located on a stony outcrop by the ocean, with a notable statue of Hans Egede atop a hill.
