La sombra de Estados Unidos se alarga sobre el sur de Groenlandia: “Vamos a perder nuestras casas”
August 22, 2026
El Museo de Narsarsuaq ya no tiene un horario fijo. Desde que el aeropuerto cerró en primavera, apenas llegan visitantes a esta remota localidad del sur de Groenlandia. No obstante, si alguien pregunta por la casa de Ole Guldager y se acerca a pedirle que lo abra, él accede encantado.
