  Telecommunications in the villages of Qaanaaq, Ittoqqortoormiit, and Tasiilaq in Greenland were disrupted from 18:30 to 00:36 WGST (19:30–01:36 UTC) because Tusass and other telecommunications companies lost connection with equipment in Maspalomas Station on Gran Canaria island. Although the antenna is on Gran Canaria, the cable goes through mainland Spain before transmission to the antenna and then satellite.
