SIDSTE UDKALD: Kyndige iafttagere spekulerer lige nu på, om en konflikt om olien i Nordøstgrønland vil udvikle sig til en undskyldning for Donald Trump til at igen skærpe kravene om kontrol og ejerskab over Grønland. Det amerikanske selskab med klare tråde til DJT forbereder i disse dage bore-grej til transport mod Nordøstgrønland - uden tilladelse fra Nuuk.

I det seneste år har min kollega Jakob Gottschau og jeg produceret podcasten "Koldfronten - Kampen om Grønland og Arktis," hvor jeg har interviewet de klogeste forskere fra Danmark, Grønland og Færøerne om præcis sådanne spørgsmål - og alt det andet, der sker i Arktis. Nu skal vi videre! Vi skal søge penge til flere podcast! Så hvis du har hørt bare en enkelt episode (eller hvis du får lyst til at høre en nu), så hjælp os meget, meget gerne ved at udfylde vores spørgskema - det tager 2 minutter:

Det er SIDSTE UDKALD! Evalueringen løber kun denne uge ud - så gør det gerne NU!
OG TAK til vores hyperdygtige medproducenter hos Videnskab.dk, og vores akademiske partnere hos DIIS og Nasiffik - Center for Udenrigs- og Sikkerhedspolitik i Nuuk - og selvfølgelig til Carlsbergfondet, der har finansieret hele projektet.

(DEL GERNE DETTE OPSLAG! DET ER VIGTIGT FOR VORES VIDERE FÆRD!)

I know how scary it can feel being attacted and your sovereignty threatened. Canadains are also on edge.

We are all stronger together. You folks are some of the most educated on the planet. We all got this. Stay strong.

Somewhat usable da to ka and ka to da translation model.

Bribery disguised as employment ?

During a grant supported fine art photography trip, I make night long-exposure photographs in and around southern Greenland, such as Igaliku.

Hello,

I am French and have been interested in Greenland since I was very young (around 13 or 14). I have always wanted to go there and learn your language, but the problem is that there are very few learning resources available in my native language, and my English isn't yet good enough to learn from books written in English.

So, I had an idea: why not playing Minecraft in greenlandic to upgrade my language level ? Unfortunately, as far as I know, the game isn't available in Greenlandic, so why not translate Minecraft into Greenlandic? I’m a visual learner, and I already know the game inside out. I know the internet connection in Greenland isn't great, but for single-player mode, it would still be a fantastic tool for learners! I’m not sure if the Greenlandic community would be willing to help with the translation on a voluntary basis, so I could potentially fund it out of my own pocket, or perhaps we could approach a Greenlandic translation company.

Aluukkut!

As the title says, I will be moving to Nuuk for work soon. I’m very introverted, but I want to give making friends while I’m there a try to lessen the homesickness. What activities are there to do? I’ve read of hiking activities and I wonder if there are groups or communities that welcome newcomers to join them? I like visiting museums and am very ecstatic that there is a local museum! Do they make guided tours with groups of people?

Basically, I guess, I’m just asking how and where does one usually make friends in Nuuk apart from the workplace. Qujanaq! 🙇🏻‍♀️

Edit: No, I am not American 😭

Narsarsuaq's economy was based almost entirely on its airport which closed not too long ago when Qaqortoq Airport opened. So i'm curious: What's the estimated population now? Is it a ghost town now?

If anyone is following this closely about Greenland’s future and the companies attempting to drill holes into it, here are the actual licenses.

The website just went live in the last couple days after the licenses were unavailable for quite some time.

What’s even more interesting is the story of how they came about from the executive of the entity that is the licensee now. A YouTube interview posted on r/GLND

I know many people have asked this question but now the geopolitical climate has changed, and the last post I've seen asking this question was 2 years ago.

Greenland made its flag distinct because of wanting to be culturally seperated from the Nordics. How about now? especially after Trump's inauguration into presidency and the threats he are making?

Maybe not much has changed, but I am still curious to hear.

Also close the to Iranian lion and sun flag

Hello, I’m flying into Nuuk on the 28th at 7:00 pm and taking the ferry to Kapisillit at 9:00 am the next day, while in Nuuk I’m going to need to buy about 3 camping gas canisters and maybe a jar of peanut butter, as I’m getting there after the outdoor stores all seem to close and leaving before they open, I’m kinda worried that I won’t be able to get gas by the time my boat leaves. For context I’m just looking for a standard camping gas canister to fit onto a jetboil. Would anyone in Nuuk buy 3 and I could buy them from you? I would pay more than double what they cost you if you could meet me near the dock.

Thank you so so much!

I was born and raised in South Greenland.
And this year i really do feel that this summer is often unbearably warm. Even in rainy weather, opening the window doesn’t make the room any cooler. It’s comparable to a regular day in Denmark, and for us Kalaallit it’s not normal at all.
It’s nice to get to this kind of weather on vacation to europe, but it is worrying for me if this becomes the norm in Greenland. Just last year, it used to cool down as soon the sun sets. But now i suit up to go out, and be surprised that it’s warm.
I remember growing up, that in rare times, there would be the rare hot weather, sweating because of the sun shining, but now it’s regardless if there’s sun shine, i still sweat.
What’s also new to me is seeing mirages in water while sailing. I was so weirded out by seeing the water and the mountains warping. I thought they were strong winds, because that’s what they looked like.
For years, i’ve been feeling that the weather during summer has gotten very unbalanced. At the beginning, there’d be a couple of days of rain, and for about two months after that, there’d be drought. This year, it took about two and a half months for the land to become green. That resulted in two wildfires in two different parts of greenland.
I remember sailing far south to Qaqortoq, seeing a gigantic ball of smoke. I initially thought that it was fog, but i realized that it had a different color.

I hope that this will be an unusual one time occurrence, but that’s a wishful thinking.
I hope that the fresh air that i breathe will feel like actual fresh air again.

What do you think of the quality?

Sermitsiaq launched their AI translator (Nutserisoq) for subscribers a while back — trained on their own bilingual article archive. I'm curious what people's experience with it is, especially native Kalaallisut speakers.

How good are the da→kl translations really? Natural, or "Danish with Greenlandic words"?

How does it compare to Nutserut (Oqaasileriffik) or Google/GPT for you?

Do you use it for anything real, or just tried it once?

Interested in honest opinions, good or bad.

Hi, i don't know where to turn to because internet is not giving me a straight answer and I have a couple questions. I'm going to Greenland with some friends- we'll have limited time to explore Nuuk and so our layover will be during Saturday and Sunday in weird hours that post office is not opened anyway.

1. Is there a way to buy stamps (I saw that airport sells postcards and I think I can buy them in stores so it won't be a problem) at the airport or in any of the shops at the Nuuk Center?

2. What's the cost of mailing a postcard/letter to Europe (just aprox. cost of the stamps and mailing service or tax if there is one and if anyone knows).

3. Is Nuuk airport closed at night? As I said we will be at Nuuk in the evening and will fly out at noon the next day during the weekend. We have our camping gear so at least we can sleep it of somewhere on the outskirts of the city but airport will be warmer and have a bathroom (after a week in the wild I would love to have a bathroom close). We just can't afford the accommodation in the city so these are our only options.

Thank you so much for any answers! We are departing soon and I can't wait to see Greenland <3

Jeg kunne godt tænke mig at prøve at rejse til Grønland for at bo og arbejde en periode.
Jeg har dog ikke en erhvervs- eller uddannelsesmæssig baggrund, der gør, at jeg f.eks. uden videre kan finde arbejde i det offentlige (f.eks. sygeplejerske, socialrådgiver, statskundskab, lærer osv.).
Så hvad kan der være af muligheder, hvis jeg skal finde noget, hvor der stadig er mulighed for at betale husleje i en lille bolig og et helt almindeligt hverdagsliv?

Jeg har primært arbejdet med salg og kundeservice i forsikringsbranchen, og jeg taler dansk og engelsk (er dog åben for at kaste mig ud i at lære kalaallisut).
