After all, you don’t come across a WWII plane like Swamp Ghost every day. However, finding valuable war relics does not require flying over Papua New Guinea. On a backcountry hiking trip in Greenland, Imgur user CanadaSpeedoMan and his wife came across a haunting reminder of the distant past. The couple had been walking through the fjords for days, getting further and further away from civilization.
