Pendleton is a historic town in Anderson County, South Carolina, United States, located in the northwestern part of the state, about 30 miles from the city of Greenville. The town is known for its well-preserved 19th century architecture and deep cultural heritage.
Founded in 1790, Pendleton is one of the oldest towns in South Carolina. The town center is home to more than 50 historic buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places, including the Pendleton Borough Historical Museum, built in 1826. The town is also known for the Pendleton Farmstead National Historic Landmark, which showcases a unique look at an early farming community.
Each spring, Pendleton hosts the famous Pendleton Spring Festival, which attracts a large number of visitors who come to experience traditional crafts, music and food. The town is surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes and is close to the Savannah River and the Blue Ridge Mountains, making it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts to hike and fish.

Its tranquil atmosphere and rich historical heritage make it a highly sought-after residential and tourist destination in the Upcountry region of South Carolina.
Kangilinnguit, located on the southwest coast of Greenland in the district of Keketalik, is an important research and military base in Greenland. Formerly known as Grønnedal, the town was once a core base for the Danish Navy, but today the Greenland Home Rule Government operates an Arctic monitoring facility in conjunction with Denmark, specializing in climate change, glacier research and monitoring of the polar environment. With a population of around 500, mostly researchers and their families, the town's infrastructure is designed to support polar survival, with long polar nights in the winter, short polar days in the summer, and magnificent views of the surrounding fjords and ice sheets. As a key point of penetration into the Arctic Circle, Kangerak is not only a research hub, but also an outpost for observing the dynamics of the Greenland Ice Sheet.
