The Sled Dogs of Ittoqqortoormiit

This series was shot during an unusually cold May & June. The latest fjord in the world, Scorsebysund, remained frozen solid. The villagers of Ittoqqortoormiit would traditionally have started fishing by now. Bred for stamina, the Greenlandic Sled Dog has the ability to travel great distances across the sea ice and the komatik (sled) remains one of the most common means of transport in the East of Greenland.
