When editing, we naturally tend to choose the most exciting clips. Hunting: The people of Greenland hunt seals, whales, and dolphins. Other than fish, these marine mammals are an important food source. Every part of the animal is used. Still, among some, this type of hunting will spark outrage. However, understand that very little grows in Greenland, as the summer lasts only around 2 months. Most fruits and vegetables, as well as all other types of food, need to be imported, causing high transport costs and emissions and resulting in astronomical prices. No citizen of Europe or North America has any right to judge the lifestyle of these people who rely on locally available, sustainable food sources. Do we prefer whales swimming wild and free in the ocean? 100%. However, in our daily lives, most of us have the luxury of buying everything we could think of in a nearby supermarket. Greenlanders do not have that option. Greenlanders know where their food comes from. Most of us in the West do not. It is easy to judge people and their lifestyles even if we know little about them. And if after all of that, you still believe Greenlanders should stop hunting seals, you are placing ideology above reason. Full Disclosure: This trip was supported by Visit Greenland. The tourism board paid for our flights from Iceland to Kulusuk as well as our helicopter flight from Kulusuk to Tasiilaq. Moreover, they supported us by funding some of the activities. Additionally, we didn’t have to pay for the trips with Tasiilaq Tours and Nunatak Adventures. All accommodations and other activities were self-funded. #Greenland #traveldocumentary 00:00 Intro 01:10 Geography 02:00 Arrival in Kulusuk 02:33 Flight to Tasiilaq 04:10 Tasiilaq 06:50 East Greenland 08:14 Lonely Sauna 10:16 Boat Trip to Knud Rasmussen Glacier 11:55 Sermiligaaq 13:20 Knud Rasmussen Glacier 17:25 Ikateq Bluie East Two Airbase 20:00 Rainy Weather in Tasiilaq 21:00 Tasiilaq Garden 22:10 Heading to Tiilerilaaq 23:10 Greenlandic Winter House 24:50 Tiilerilaaq 26:50 Culture of Hunting 28:00 Sermilik Ice Fjord 34:35 The March of the Icebergs 36:40 Northern Lights over Ice Fjord 37:30 The name ‚Greenland‘ 38:20 Humpback Whales 39:55 Bye Bye Tiilerilaaq 40:52 Ikkateqq 41:40 Hiking in East Greenland 43:10 Sled Dogs 46:05 Kayak 48:00 Johan Peterson Fjord 50:25 Greenland Inland Ice Sheet 53:05 Orcas and rough weather 53:53 Ice Climbing 56:00 Ice Cave 58:24 Apusiaajik Glacier 59:26 Northern Lights in Tasiilaq 01:00:28 Outro
