Hunting and fishing settlements in Upernavik district of Northern Greenland – challenged by climate, centralization, and globalization
Inuit from the Upernavik district of Northern Greenland have, for generations, used winter sea ice as the basis for essential hunting of seals, white whales, and narwhales.
