Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
Fox 3 was quick off the mark and dead right as well!
I was going to offer the following as the next clue, from the Valhalla Museum of figureheads in Abbey Gardens on Tresco but a bit academic now.
Fox 3 has the chair.

Looks like somewhere very cold and very isolated. How about Svalbard?

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
Neither of those.
You are both correct in noting a Scandinavian influence in the buildings.
It is south of the Arctic Circle (just).

Could this be Ísafjörður, that godforsaken town in northwest Iceland?

Iceland has paved roads!
This place is somewhere God probably never went in the first place
You're getting closer, though.

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
So now I'm thinking it might be the big country west of Iceland. Narsaq - as opposed to Narsasuaq?

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
How about Maniitsoq?
It is in Greenland (can we still say that or is it colourist?)
It is just south of the Arctic Circle
It has an airport for fixed wing aircraft.

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
good guess, but no.
Maniitsoq also has paved streets.
Other side of the icecap.

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
So could it be Tasiilaq? That looks like a rough and ready sort of town...
