Beskrivelse

Discover captivating tales from Ilulissat, Greenland, during the early post-war years when ice isolated the town for half the year. This book shares stories of the people, their challenging sled journeys, and hunting adventures amidst the harsh Arctic environment.

A vivid portrayal of life and nature in Greenland’s remote Arctic landscape.

This collection brings to life the unique experiences of those living in and around Ilulissat, where winter ice cut off all outside contact for months on end. During this time, dog sleds were the primary mode of transportation, essential for survival and connection.

The book weaves together human stories filled with drama and adventure, highlighting the deep bond between the inhabitants and the stunning, yet demanding, natural world of the midnight sun and long polar nights.

Revisited in 2026, the author’s children have chosen to release a second, updated edition, recognizing that many of the themes remain relevant despite Greenland’s significant changes over the years.
