Wasn't the character you took the name from a Greenlander?

Half Greenlandish/Half Danish.

That's actually one of the themes of the novel-her Mother was a native Greenlander and her father a famous Danish anesthesiologist. Smilla resented her Father's culture after her Mother died.

I remember having to put the book down halfway through when Hoeg wrote something along the lines of "...she knew the terrain as intuitively as a man knows his own testicles". Quite enjoyed the film though.

I'm pretty close (although different country) and have actually visited Tivoli (Copenhagen) and Legoland (Billund) when I was a kid. Plus I love Mew (the band) :halo:
