To live in Greenland is to accept a life powered by the natural environment. Regardless of whether one is a CEO in the arctic metropolis of Nuuk or a fisherman from a settlement in Disko Bay, the nature influences everything and everyone.
For the last six weeks in Ilulissat in northwest Greenland, the sun has not come over the horizon, leaving the town and landscape cloaked in hues that range from cool twilight to intense magenta to complete darkness, but never daylight. Such is normal life when you live three hundred kilometers north of the Arctic Circle, you’re used to transition into a state of Polar darkness with every yearly cycle.
