Intriguing glimpse into a life that's hard to imagine. We've been following Alluring Arctic on YouTube for years now, but Greenland is still a mystery to me.

Greenland was amazing the east side is raw, natural.

I appreciated your thoughtfulness and respect for the community woven through this, and restraint not to take from their limited rations. Also maybe a reminder to simply observe and leave things as we found them.

Fascinating story, but I don’t think I’ll be paying a visit any time soon.

From the wee bit I know about you Mark, younger Mark would have maybe done it way back then, but Mark-today, nah not so much.

Kay, I loved this line, "There was an old man just inside the door, his face carved by the sun, weather, and time." Such a great overview. You leave no stone unturned and manage to weave all the elements of life lived in a society with limited resources.
