What is it like Living in Greenland?
Greenland is likely to evoke mental pictures of polar bears, icebergs, the northern lights, and Inuit culture and lifestyle. We think you'll appreciate this northern gem as much as we do. People's perceptions of Greenland are often incorrect, and we hope this video may dispel some of those myths. How about we get going?
Everyday Food.
Greenlanders often eat a lot of canned goods, as well as canned fish, potatoes, and vegetables. Many Inuit tribes also rely heavily on seal and polar bear meat. Incredible dining options can be found all around the western coast of Greenland. While that may be true, it is not well known. Greenlandic delicacies are often reserved for the most discerning of diners (unless you happen to be Inuit), leading many to get a false idea of the cuisine outside of Greenland.
An Infinite Supply of Sunlight
Learn what it's like to have sunshine on your face for all 24 hours of the day. Just picture yourself seeing the sun set (it does not truly set) and then rising again an hour later. Greenland's summers are nonstop celebrations.
What it's like to live in Greenland and learn about its culture and music
The Greenlandic people have always placed a high value on the arts, both historically and now. With such a small population, Greenland is home to a surprisingly robust music culture, with several performers garnering worldwide acclaim.
Greenlandic literature began with the oral transmission of Greenland's rich oral tradition of myths and stories. Many of these have been memorialized in print and are readily available at this time.
While Greenlanders have a long history of performing for one another, it wasn't until 1984 that a professional theater company was founded, and it wasn't until 2011 that the country's first theater school opened.
Greenland is home to a rich history of craftsmanship. Greenlanders traditionally wear colorful woolen knitwear (anoraks) and handcrafted boots (kamiks). Fur and sealskins have been vital to Greenlanders' survival in the north for centuries, but in recent years, Greenlandic design has exploded, reaching new levels of creativity by fusing worldwide and Greenlandic fashions with the inventive use of fur and skin goods.
Fundamental Economic Principles
Standard of living and unemployment in Greenland are on par with those in mainland Europe (officially about 10 percent in the mid-1990s, with the public sector accounting for almost two-thirds of all jobs). While its GDP is more than $1 billion each year, the Danish government provides almost half of its budgetary support. The Greenlandic economy experienced a downturn in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Recent years have had budget surpluses and low inflation, but there is rising concern that overfishing may soon cause severe fisheries depletion. Small, remote Inuit communities in northern and eastern Greenland rely heavily on subsistence hunting for food and clothing (mainly polar bear and seal furs). Some Inuit communities have also profited from the International Whaling Commission's (IWC) recent decision to offer Greenland special authority to participate in limited aboriginal subsistence whaling.
Literature, Music, Art, and All Other Humanities Topics
Help for the Creative Sector. Greenland's artistic and literary communities get some funding from the government since the Greenlandic and Danish governments recognize the value of the arts in attracting tourists. However, the Inuit communities' robust creative history is by far the most important factor in the ongoing survival of Greenlandic arts.
Literature.
Inuit mythologies and moral codes, as well as the connection between the Inuit and the animals (seal, bear, walrus, whale, fox, etc.) on which they depended for existence, have long been central to Greenland's rich oral storytelling heritage (stories and songs). The most accomplished exponents of this art form are still held in high regard in Greenlandic society. While the tradition of writing and reading is still developing in Greenland, it is becoming more and more widespread.

12 Facts about Greenland That You Might Not Know
Greenland is without a doubt the destination in the Arctic that sees the fewest tourists in the summer and is also the one that the least amount of people are familiar with. It is also one of the most fascinating locations in the world. Greenland is enormously enormous and incredibly white, two features that undoubtedly both contribute to the attractiveness and make it more than a bit frightening to plan a visit. If you have ever taken even a cursory look at a global map, you are bound to be aware of these facts. Greenland is an Arctic conservation area comparable to only a few others, both on land and within the oceans that shape it, and it is populated by a historic Inuit culture that has developed to the rhythm of its own drum. However, size and ice aren't the only things that Greenland has going for it; there is so much more to it than that.
Before you start making travel plans to Greenland, you should familiarize yourself with the following really fun facts about Greenland. Take a look:
1. Greenland Really Was Green
Why is Greenland still named Greenland if it is always frozen over? Greenland is a white Arctic country because of all the snow and ice that blankets it. If it's not green, then why is it called Greenland? Well, this surely is one of the most interesting facts about Greenland that you might not know. But don’t worry, the story isn’t that complex. The murderer Erik the Red of Iceland, who was sent there, is responsible for the island's unusual moniker. He chose the name Greenland in the belief that it would encourage immigration. South Greenland (where Erik the Red made his home) is surprisingly lush during the summer months. According to researchers, however, Greenland was a lush greenery over 2.5 million years ago. New research shows that ancient earth was chilled kept for millions of years, buried beneath roughly two miles of ice.
2. World’s Largest Island
Greenland is a huge island, around the area of Western Europe. Remember that it is the world's 12th biggest nation while making plans for your trip. When additional islands in the vicinity are included in, the total land surface of Greenland rises to 2.16 million square kilometers (836,330 sq miles). An arctic ice extends over about 80 percent of whole land area. While the ice-free region is small compared to the rest of the planet, it is nevertheless around the area of Sweden. Among the world's least populous nations, its 56,480 residents make it a rarity in terms of population density.
3. Greenland is an Autonomous country
Another fun fact about Greenland is that in spite of being a part of Denmark, Greenland operates independently as a sovereign nation. Greenland has really been historically and culturally linked to Europe for the better part of a thousand years, despite its North American location. Denmark has had settlements in Greenland as of 1721; in 1953, the nation officially became a part of Denmark. After being awarded Home Rule by Denmark in 1979, Greenland was then inaugurated into extended Self Rule in 2009, providing even more authority and responsibility to the Greenlandic government. Greenland will be able to take up additional duties from Denmark in accordance with the new framework as and when it is ready to do so.
4. Greenland has the lowest population density of almost any country on the planet.
Despite its size, the city is home to barely 56,000 people. That translates to a population density of only 0.03 individuals per square kilometer. There is plenty of space to be alone even in the nation's capital, as the population is not fairly spread out and no one lives in the great majority of the island.

WELCOME TO ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST ISOLATED PLACES - GREENLAND!
Today I arrived in one of the world's most remote villages, way out here on the rugged North Eastern shores of Greenland. It's called Ittoqqortoormiit (say that 5 times fast) and it's a fascinating place that feels like I'm on the moon!
Very few outsiders have ever visited this village because it's so remote, and I'm lucky to be one of them on board this Hurtigruten expedition!
Ittoqqortoormiit has a population of around 350 and the nearest town is thousands of kilometers away. The locals are called Inuits (the same ethnic group as Eskimos), and they survive from hunting and eating polar bears, walrus, seals, and whales.

Our goal was to find Narwhales. We can´t find any. But what we found were impressive landscapes and sceneries. If you are wondering what happened to the dead Polar bear, it was killed just for his head and his claws.Enjoy!
