Its a species of Eriophorum. "Tussock Grass" or "Cotton Sedge." Its in the Sedge family Cyperaceae.
We get a ton of it in New England, a lot of the Greenland plants do well here at the higher elevations.

And this is one I took: http://www.backpackingamericanwest.com/uploads/6/1/2/6/61260235/9369751_orig.jpg
