The author goes into great detail about hotels, restaurants, groceries, and transportation. There are little maps of various destinations and some very good background on the history and culture of the island. Since Greenland is not yet a major tourist destination, souvenirs are not being produced in large quantity. The most characteristic craft item is the tupilaq. This is a small carving merging images of two or three menacing creatures.
Human skulls are the most common image, but others include polar bears and seals.
All have prominent teeth. Most tupilaqs are made of whalebone or walrus tusks and may not be imported into the US, but some are made of caribou or reindeer horn which are legal. There are also carvings and models made of soapstone and wood, drawn from the hunting and fishing life of the Inuits. The weather in Greenland depends strongly on location and season but it never gets warm. The record high temperature was in the low 70s.
