“On Saturday, June 27th, we dropped anchor in the land-locked harbour of Godhavn, the chief settlement in the North Inspectorate of Danish Greenland. The place had not changed in the five years since I had seen it. No building boom had reached Godhavn, and the real-estate market was as flat as ever.” -Robert E. Peary, Northward over the Great Ice, published in 1898
