Greenland AMO: score-o (22/06/2011)
Category: Závody
Map/area: AMO2011
Organiser: IOG, NATLOC2011
Country: GRL
Discipline: score-o
First run in Greenland. Very unusual experience. There is no tree in Ilulissat, thus white = open land. Most of the area is covered by bare rock and marshes are very soft. Everywhere of course big hills. Only huge cliffs are on map, the rest is drawn only with contours (close contours = cliff). Red areas are the "summer parking" for sledge dogs. Not recommended to enter - they looks pretty hungry (and certainly they are)... Greenland loves score-o. Mass start of everybody and a pretty big hill to control 31. Try to find its placement on this picture. Even if I didn't take optimal course I managed to collect all controls within the time limit (50 minutes). There are simply ultimate views from any place on the map. Sometimes you look more at the sea than on the map... Check this view and picture of the area. The area is really one of the top for the membership in "101 Orienteering Maps you should run on before you die".
