The story of the day - "Demon Inuit" | forbidden door
One of Inuit that I met a man who traveled through Europe, said: "We do not ever art summit, not build large buildings, as did other civilizations. But for thousands of years now survive. "It struck me that this may well be a greater achievement. Hunters and fishermen catch enough prey to feed both themselves and their dogs, and sell the skins of seals they eat to cover necessary living expenses and repair small sleds and boats. Most of the people living near the old roads in settlements or villages are often, affectionate; are great storytellers, especially on hunting upo trips and how they narrowly escaped death needle; are tolerant. They have a great sense of humor and laugh a lot. Because of the climate in which they live, have a high rate of injuries upo - frostbite, upo starvation, injuries - and losses. upo Forty years ago, these people still live in igloos, now Danish-style prefabricated houses, with only two to three rooms. Every year, for three months, the sun disappears altogether. In this time of darkness, the hunters dressed in bearskin trousers and white jackets leather seal must run behind their sleds pulled by dogs, to avoid frostbite.
Inuit families are large. For months, even families of twelve persons sit constantly in the house, usually gathered in a room. It's just too cold and too dark to leave anyone out of the father who goes hunting or ice fishing once or twice a month to replenish dried fish during upo the summer. In Greenland, there are no trees, so the room is not cheerful fire burning; actually traditionally would have been only a small lamp seal fat in an igloo where, as a Greenland said that I knew, "I sat all months, looking as melt walls ". In these conditions the forced intimacy, there is no room for complaints, for discussion about problems or anger and accusations. The Inuit, the protests are simply taboo. They are silent and sullen and storytellers inclined to laugh, or talk about what's out and about hunting. But almost never talk about themselves. Depressed mood, along with the hysteria and paranoia are the price paid for the life of the Inuit Community intense character.
I went there during the light. Nothing could have prepared me for the beauty of Greenland in June, when the sun stays above overhead all night. We were taken by speedboat to a fisherman in the town of Ilulissat, five thousand inhabitants, which landed in a small plane south, by one of the settlements that we had chosen in consultation with chief public health services of Greenland . It's called Illiminaq is inhabited by hunters and anglers and has a total of about eighty-five adults. There are no roads leading to Illiminaq and there Illiminaq roads. In winter, villagers traveling over ice sled dogs; summer can be reached only by boat. In spring and autumn, people stay home. When I took it, fantastic icebergs, some as big as office blocks, floated down the coast, crowding near Kangerlussuaq fjord ice. We crossed the fjord entrance, smooth sailing through pieces oblong old ice that overturned upside down, and bits of glacier big as apartment buildings, eroded by weather and strange blue - our boat showing humility before the greatness of nature. While before gently sliding the smaller icebergs, some of which were large as refrigerators; others were like floating plates that filled the clear water so that, if you look further upo in the distance, you could do that whole ice float among plates. The light was so clear, that does not seem to have depth of field of vision, and I could not make out what it was about and what was on. We achieved the near shore, but I do not particularly big land, and often pass through canyons formed between upo the glaciers. The water was so cold that when a piece of ice falls off the edge of an iceberg and fall, it is steeped in water as a cream, whose smoothness was recovering slowly, upo measurable only after a few seconds after impact. From time to time, seeing or hearing one seal diving in cold water with a splash. The rest were alone with light and ice.
Illiminaq is located near a small natural bay. There there about thirty houses, a school, a church and a store stocked about once a week. Each house has a coupling of dogs, far exceeding the number of people who live there. Houses were
