City planning requires ingenuity when the ground is hardened with perma frost. Ilulissat is laying sewage pipes with dynamite. The pipes are ny the way heated with warm water and run in to the bay. Electric cables lie in metal casing on the rock. All houses have a water tank. Small lamps on the houses tell if the tanks are full or empty. Red is full. Green means empty. So no maritime significance here. The city itself is picturesque. Multi colored houses strewn over the rocks. And 2000+ sleigh dogs laying chained except for the cubs among the houses creating am atmosphere with their howling and sneering.
