The Danish military - Greenland is a semi-autonomous country, under Danish rule - has sent patrol vessel P570 Knud Rasmussen to the area.

NOTE, 1 SEPTEMBER 2023:
Twitter ends. Over the past 13 years I used Twitter to bring you daily news, quickly and short, in addition to my web channel. First from Scandinavia, with Poland and the Baltic states added a few years ago. I have decided to leave Twitter/X. Once, it was a great, free and simple channel, easy to include in my website and accessible to all - even for those without a Twitter account. That were precisely the reasons why I used Twitter, during most of my 15 years as a correspondent/reporter based in Sweden, and even after I moved to Poland more than 2 years ago.
Recent changes dictated by Musk, and especially today's announcement that X will demand more privacy sensitive data from its users, have fuelled my decision.
If you have been one of my almost 1.6K regular followers of my daily tweets, which totalled more than 15.900, big thank you (!!!) for your confidence in me during the past dozen years.
