World Ice Golf Championship
World Ice Golf Championship
This is not the first time for the the World Ice Golf Championship. "The world championship has taken place since 1999 in Uummannaq, Greenland. " The World Ice Golf Championship is held almost 600 km north of the Arctic Circle, on the west coast of Greenland in the little town of Uummannaq. From December through to May, the fjord leading in to Uummannaq is covered by a metre-thick sheet of ice. Huge icebergs containing thousand-year-old ice lie frozen in the fjord, caught by the freeze on their journey out towards the open sea."
