Greenlanders live in very modest towns, called "settlements." The buildings are simple. They have to be substantial enough to stand up to the winds, which can exceed 120 miles per hour. But all building materials must be imported - there are no trees in Greenland. The harsh weather ages buildings quickly. As for the satellite dish - what else is there to do when the winter nights last 18-20 hours?
