Glimpses of Life by the Icefjord ebook

This book narrates stories about the life and the people in and around Ilulissat, Greenland, in the early post-war period. At that time, the ice cut off Ilulissat from the outside for half a year during winter, and the most important means of transport was the dog sled. It is a story about human destinies, dramatic sledding journeys and hunting adventures. The book is permeated with love for nature and the people in the lands of midnight sun and long polar nights. Rereading the book now in 2026, it seems to me that many of the things he writes about are still of interest today, not least because Greenland has undergone so many changes since then. His children have therefore decided to publish a second, revised edition.
