the pictured "rejsehus" in this last source appears to have an external stovepipe chimney anchored with two wires to the roof which would indicate that this refuge / shelter has a self-catering accomodation-type stove

There are no glasspane windows, only swing-out wooden doors downstairs and upstairs along with a wooden swing-out window downstairs, probably against the cold (lots of icy blizzards in the nine-month long Greenland winters) and to keep the polar bears out

you probably have to take your garbage with you when you leave after using the "rejsehus"
