Arctic Heroes

"The freedom of being out on the ice seems boundless. But the ice is getting thinner, and the hunting season is coming to an end. Ice that was three feet thick now only has a depth of four inches. The ocean icefield that stretched out as far as the eye could see is now open sea.

What will existence in these parts be like if the ice disappears completely? It’s such a huge part of people’s lives here. The number of hunters decreases every year, and it is becoming increasingly hard to survive by hunting. The inhabitants are worried about their future. They envision the end of a society based on a hunting tradition that stretches back many thousands of years.

At the Felleshus, visitors can accompany Ragnar Axelsson on his journey through the everyday lives of Inuit hunters and their sled dogs in the Greenlandic Arctic. They can also experience the extraordinary relationships that the people of the Arctic have developed with their extreme environment."

We will meet in the café for a coffee first.
