Description
This is a virtual safari-cache.
It is not bound to a single place but can be found all over the world. The listing-coords are just an example.
Other caches with the "safari-attribut" are listed here.
Safari-caches and their responding logs are shown on the safari-cache-map.
This cache and the logs are shown here.
Greenland is the largest island on planet earth. As "Erik the red" setteled there in 982 he'd followed a description of Gunnbjørn Úlfsson, who saw this land while beeing on wrong course and named it "the green land". Eriks son Leifur Eiríksson sailed even longer westwards and discovered the north-american continent, which he named "Vine-land".
The vikings took advantage of their navigational feats and used a "sólsteinn" (="sun-stone" ~"Silfurhill-crystal"). A quartz / mineral, that even on cloudy days or in the polar-winter showed the sun's position. Maybe by light-spectrums or the Doppler-effect - science still can't explain or reproduce it.
Safari & log-conditions:
• Find a way, sign, map to Greenland under open sky.
• Other languages are welcome, e.g. the origin "Grønland".
• Take a picture of it and personalize this by holding someting unique into the camera.
• Upload the picture and name the coords of the place where it was taken.
As it is common sense: one cacher => one log. Merci!
Please input the coords, as claimed in the log-condition in the format "N/S DD MM.MMM E/W DDD MM.MMM" (e.g. "N 48 00.000 E 008 00.000") into the log. So they can be shown on the safari-cache-map!
This cache and its logs are mentioned here.

Wir haben die Hallig-Grönlang fast vor der Haustür.
Scheinbar so weit weg und doch so nah.

found the geocache
Unterwegs mit dem Vulkan im Wiesental. Extra einen kleinen Schlenker gemacht, um diese Safari zu erfüllen.
Der Strassenname hat mit der Zeller Fasnacht zu tun, genauer mit einer Fasnachtsvogtei: https://zeller-fasnacht.de/organisation/vogteien/groenland
Das Quartier und die Strasse sind danach benannt.
Diese Safari loggen wir im Team.

Danke für die Safari an Le Dompteur!

Eyjafjallajökull
found the geocache
Heute mit kaktus67 auf Durchfahrt in Zell im Wiesental, BW, Deutschland. Da meine Frau von hier kommt, wusste ich, dass es hier die Strasse "Im Grönland" gibt und gleich an der Kreuzung auch die Bushaltestelle "Grönland". Darum den kleinen Abstecher gemacht und diese Safari im Team "kaktus67" und "Eyjafjallajökull" besucht.
Interessanterweise kennt Google Maps diese Strasse nicht, Openstreetmap und Bing jedoch schon.
Koordinaten: N 47° 42.741 E 007° 51.550
Danke für die Safari-Idee
