PLAY MULTIMEDIA or DOWNLOAD DOCUMENT
The Inuit community living in the Avanersuaq of North West of Greenland at latitude 77°N are one of the most northerly communities in the world. Their community has adapted to the harsh environment and they have taken a conscious decision as a community to use traditional tried and tested technologies in their lives rather than adopting modern things such as skidoos which might not be sustainable to run.
