Inuit traditions - Seal hunting in Greenland on dog sleds
I get it but I cannot change the music now! Turn down the video after 30 seconds if it hurts you that much to hear!
I was lucky enough to be invited to join the Inuits of northern Greenland on a seal hunt. We took off on dogsleds and spent our day out on the sea ice. We saw a total of 9 seals but only were able to connect with one. The seal escaped us and our day ended empty handed. You could see the disappointment in the faces of these guys coming home without a catch. This is how the live and they use every part of the seal. Not having a successful hunt meant that both their dogs and themselves go home hungry. This is the way of life in the far north, without these traditions these people could not survive.

Nuuk Trailer Discovery of Urban Greenland
Bastien Labat & Antoine Frère
This series is a documentary study about urban life in Greenland. Few months ago, a huge curiosity and our natural sense for adventure make us flew to Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, a city lost in the ice that you can reach only by boat or by the air. In this far away country, we discovered a very modern little town with, despite its isolation, all the comfort and technological improvement of an occidental capital. We stayed there 3 months, we met plenty of people and we integrated the core of the capital’s social life. During this fieldwork, our attention were particularly focused on the youth.
In Greenland, the 20-30 generation is stuck between two world: the modern and globalized world in one hand and theirs father’s world, the old traditional one, in the other hand. Urbanization is really new in Greenland and the 20-30 generation is the first one to be born in town. This generation never learned how to hunt or fish, they don’t uses kayak to travel or Tupilak and spirituality to protect their house anymore. Instead of it they’re connected on Facebook, they takes plane, listens to Brit pop and are dressed like their American idol. If in appearance the progress did well in Greenland, a strange feeling appears when you go deeper: Greenland is the country with the highest suicide’s rate. A lot of people are unemployed, inactive and dependent of Denmark’s social help. 67% of the kids quit school before high-school. And violence and aggressions have a really high rate, particularly in a country with 0.03 inhabitants per km². As a twisted generation, the 20-30 have the first rank on those bad figures and they are widely touched by the social problem. But a whole lead group, part of this generation, recently raised to improve this situation. Those are the people which we had met and it is by their eyes that we want to see Greenland.
From the material we had collected, we‘ve made a web-documentary, on the bases of four portraits of people living an urban life in this wild country which is Greenland. Our idea is to extend this concept and make a series showing each principal cities in Greenland thanks to 4 inhabitants for each city. During a brief trip around the main cities of Greenland, we had notice how much each city have its particular identity and how much they are different from each-others. That what we want to show: the diversity and the human wealth of this little country.
Our first episode about Nuuk has a wide angle. But the idea for the series is to focus on different topics in each city selected depending their pertinence: politics for Nuuk, education for Paamiut, tourism for Ilulissat, history for Qaanaq, environmental matter for Qaqortoq and economy for Angmagssalik. The tension between tradition and modernity is the core of our work and forms the link between all the episodes.

Why Greenland, and why now?
Greenland is sort of the Midwest of the planet, in that everyone flies over it but few consider visiting. It’s more than 20 times the size of Iceland but has one-sixth the population. At more than 836,000 square miles, Greenland is the world’s largest island, but home to only around 56,000 people. For comparison, my hometown of Littleton, Colorado, population 46,000, is less than 14 square miles.
Thanks to the Iceland tourism boom, there are cheap flights via Reykjavik all the time; from Reykjavik, the flight to the small airport at Constable Point on East Greenland is only about an hour and a half. The airport sits near the mouth of Kangertittivaq, or Scoresby Sund — the largest fjord in the world. Nearby is Ittoqqortoormiit, the northernmost community in East Greenland. Otherwise, no one lives here.
Western Greenland has seen an increase in tourism in recent years around Ilulissat and the capital city of Nuuk, but the East coast remains largely off the grid and inaccessible as far as travel goes. You mostly hear about the Antarctic ice sheet, but our planet has two such sheets, the second covering most of Greenland. As there’s not much in the way of land-based infrastructure (most is concentrated on the West coast), Scoresby Sund can really only be seen by boat.
Polar cruises are the best way to travel
There are many excellent cruises in the world, but I am normally opposed to them due to the fact that while I do not fear enclosed spaces, I do fear enclosed spaces promising Organized Fun with strangers. This fear, however, is not as strong as my desire to spend as much time as possible in the Arctic Circle, and when Quark Expeditions invited me on a 10-day trip around Scoresby Sund they also turned me into a person who was excited to go on a cruise.
It helped that this was not a typical cruise. Small adventure cruises (maybe 100 people, including crew) like this are growing in popularity as an alternative to the cartoonish, supersized outings around the Caribbean etc. Quark specializes in polar expeditions -- both Arctic and Antarctic -- and are one of very few cruise lines that go to Greenland’s east coast. The ones that do tend to make it a drive-by on routes that focus on other destinations like Norway.
Packages vary; the specific trip I joined, “Greenland’s Northern Lights,” runs $6,695. You’ll want to budget a few hundred dollars more for add-ons like kayaking, drinking, silent auction-bidding and, of course, tipping. Quark’s expedition crew are all knowledgeable in different areas — history, marine biology, glaciology, and photography — so the cruise feels very deliberate — rest assured, you’re not just getting mindlessly steered around. An average cruise day would include breakfast followed by a morning activity like a hike, kayak expedition or Zodiac cruise, an up-close tour of icebergs and glaciers upon inflatable boats. After lunch, afternoon activities continue in the same vein. The itinerary is pretty flexible, contingent on weather and unexpected experiences like bear sightings.
Wait, will I see polar bears?
Polar bears only evolved around 150,000 years ago, but are predicted to go extinct within the next couple of decades, a sad, tiny blip in this planet’s history. And sure you can see them in zoos, but seeing them in the wild is something else entirely. On day one of Quark’s cruise, we saw 11 polar bears -- females with cubs making their way down to the water and disappearing into slow-moving wakes as they started to swim, and even lone males moving steadily across high plateaus, getting harder and harder to find again in binoculars as it started to snow. Pro-tip: Polar bears are generally best viewed during the brief summer season.
One of the things the Arctic has over the Antarctic is that it’s an incredible wildlife destination -- a region where you can see not just polar bears, but musk ox, arctic fox, arctic hare, seals, whales, maybe even narwhals. (Narwhals aren’t likely, TBH, as they’re an exceedingly rare sighting, but perhaps you’ll be one of the lucky ones.) If you’re mostly interested in wildlife, Quark offers focused packages that get you tracking down your favorite critters.
Fly Fishing in Greenland for Searun Arctic Char - Kangia River Lodge
Located at the rivermouth of the Kangia River, Solid Adventure’s Kangia River Lodge is majestically situated, overlooking both pristine sea- and freshwaters. Kangia River, known for its strong run of searun Arctic Char has been a well-kept secret amongst local anglers and a few adventurous fly fishermen who have pilgrimaged to the hunting camp in search for some of the biggest char on Greenland’s West-Fjords. The fishing for these supercharged Anadromous Char has improved drastically since commercial fishing has been banned and along with these improvements, Solid Adventures has been granted the exclusive rights to build an operation in pair with all our famous other premises worldwide. On top of the unbelievable fishing for searun char we will also offer our guests to try fishing for cod and halibut in the fish rich fjords next to our camp. For more informations please visit

Greenland Bound - A Paddlers Pilgrimage
The sport of kayaking has its roots in the skills that Inuit people needed to hunt and survive in Arctic waters. In 2014, Canadians James Roberts and James Manke went to learn more about the Greenlandic people and Qajaq culture, and to participate in the legendary Greenland National Qajaq Championships. In this short film, they share their experiences with the games and with the people whose ancestors kayaked for survival, and who continue this competition to preserve those traditional skills.

Greenland Expedition 2010 Training trip 3
Petter and Terje are crossing the Greenland ice cap unsupported in May 2010. During a period of four weeks they will cross 600 km of high altitude glacier facing blistering cold and strong winds. This is their third training trip.
Terje's summary:
We finally got around to executing a practice trip in alpine flatland conditions. The week before easter we travelled to my home town of Kirkenes where my father drove us to Suossjohka. There the road over the mountain was closed due to the harsh weather. The only way over was by convoy, led by a large plow truck. We hitched a ride with the plow truck and got out close to the highest point of the road. From there we skied due south for 3 days before turning east for another 3. Nature blessed us with a plethora of conditions ranging from -30 centigrade during the night, bright sunny days and 17 m/s winds in the afternoons. We learned a lot about ourselves and our equipment. We also settled into a routine that we believe will work for us on our expedition. My father picked us up in Masjok and drove us to back to my moms where we could have a well deserved beer in the sauna.
