Nuuk smallest and most northern capital City in the world

Nuuk is the capital of Greenland with a population of 16500 making it one of the smallest capital cities in the world by population.It is also the most northern capital city in the world.
We arrived to another rainy foggy morning four degrees but it cleared by mid morning and we were able to tender ashore and walk around for a few hours.
Being Sunday didn't make many people very happy as many shops were closed and pubs shut. The city is not in good shape most of the buildings were badly maintained and there seem to be lots of sub standard housing flats.
Not the best port we have seen but we've enjoyed Greenland.
Now we are on our way to Newfoundland Canada almost 1000 nautical miles over two and half days.
