Greenland is located in the Northern
Hemisphere, so its winter solstice is on December 21st. During this month the average high is 24
degrees Fahrenheit and the average low is 17 degrees Fahrenheit. These temperatures can be compared to the

Dreading the sweltering summer
heat? Well then, dig out those wool
sweaters, and escape to Greenland, where its winter all year round! As apparent from the information above, the
best time to visit Greenland during the year is in the summer. Specifically, the best months are July and August, as that
is when the temperatures can get as high as approximately 50 degrees Fahrenheit. During this period Greenland is characterized by flourishing nature as the snow recedes and plant life starts to emerge. Common tourist activities, during the summer
months include whale watching and sailing.

Greetings from France! I'm here for the last part of blog assignment 3. Anyway, seeing as Greenland is at a higher latitude than France, it's only natural that the temperature is colder. This is evidenced by our posts, which show that France has higher average high and low temperatures in every season. However, both feature summer-type activities, though the ones you mentioned for Greenland are more oceanic while my activities usually take place more inland. Anyway, good work!
