43. Nuuk, Greenland: Aurora Light and Painted Roofs

Greenland’s capital, Nuuk, is a splash of brightness in a land of ice. Red, blue, and yellow houses dot the snowy fjords, their hues meant to guide fishermen home—but also to fight winter’s deep gloom. When the aurora borealis dances overhead, the town transforms into a surreal spectrum—color on the ground and in the sky. Despite its remoteness, Nuuk buzzes with contemporary Inuit art and bold graffiti. It’s proof that even in the world’s coldest corners, color can be a form of survival.
