It was mid-September, getting late in the season in the north. I had just come in from the ship with our zodiac bouncing around the bergie bits in the ice-choked harbor at Ilulissat, Greenland. As I walked up Amuttivimmut Aqqutaa into town, I was surprised to see these clumps of bright blue flowers growing wild beside the road up against a rock face. There had been a dusting of snow overnight and the pale sun was just melting it off these Scottish Bluebells (campanula rotundifolia) or harebells. They were growing near their northern limit of 70 degrees North latitude. Ilulissat is sheltered in Disko Bay with temperatures moderated by the ocean waters in Baffin Bay.
