The Inuit of Greenland have 80 different words for ice, including sikuuvoq (sea covered by a layer of ice) Niels Davidsen's boat is currently frozen into sea ice in the harbour of Ilulissat , on the west coast of Greenland .

For now, the thaw will rescue the vessel and its neighbours, or else the town will decide its winter visitor has outstayed its welcome.

Greenland was subject to what amounted to cultural cleansing up until the 1970s , including the forced relocation of the Inuit from their villages.

Using traditional skills, whether fishing, hunting or carving, is a mark of respect for one’s ancestors for many here.

The association was formed to give younger generations the tools and knowledge to make traditional costumes.

New airport near Ilulissat aims to encourage more land-based tourism, breaking away from cruise-ship tourism.

Land-based travel in winter involves snowmobiles or dog sleds.

Fishing is still the main industry here but tourism is catching up.

Getting to the many islands scattered off the coast typically means sailing.
