Weather conditions change rapidly.
Due to the mixture of warm air over the oceans and cold air over the icecap, heavy fog may build up over the coasts, closing down all of Greenland's airports simultaneously.

The waters around Greenland are not influenced by warmer waters such as the Gulf Stream. They are arctic waters with winter temperatures close to 0 Celsius. During the summer period the water temperatures may rise to 3-6 Celsius at the warmest.
