Real Talk:
Despite our attempt at keeping our Greenland Travel Documentary as authentic as possible, you are still watching a highlight reel. When editing, we naturally tend to choose the most exciting clips.

Hunting:
The people of Greenland hunt seals, whales, and dolphins. Other than fish, these marine mammals are an important food source. Every part of the animal is used. Still, among some, this type of hunting will spark outrage. However, understand that very little grows in Greenland, as the summer lasts only around 2 months. Most fruits and vegetables, as well as all other types of food, need to be imported, causing high transport costs and emissions and resulting in astronomical prices. No citizen of Europe or North America has any right to judge the lifestyle of these people who rely on locally available, sustainable food sources.

Do we prefer whales swimming wild and free in the ocean? 100%. However, in our daily lives, most of us have the luxury of buying everything we could think of in a nearby supermarket. Greenlanders do not have that option.

Greenlanders know where their food comes from. Most of us in the West do not. It is easy to judge people and their lifestyles even if we know little about them. And if after all of that, you still believe Greenlanders should stop hunting seals, you are placing ideology above reason.

Full Disclosure:
This trip was supported by Visit Greenland. The tourism board paid for our flights from Iceland to Kulusuk as well as our helicopter flight from Kulusuk to Tasiilaq. Moreover, they supported us by funding some of the activities. Additionally, we didn’t have to pay for the trips with Tasiilaq Tours and Nunatak Adventures. All accommodations and other activities were self-funded.

This is why I stopped watching public television. Your documentary is soo much better than anything on TV. And Greenland is simply stunning, especially with such beautiful weather. Wanna go badly

[libbiey-nr]

I think you're the best travel videographer entirely. The views, the added information about a place and how you share a place with us is truly genius.

Yours isn't just travel but a work of art. I thought Iceland had the end of the world vibes, but boy oh boy Greenland takes the crown.

[sarathtech]

32 years old, going through a bad phase in life, and your Norwegian documentary inspired me to take a life-changing trip that changed the course of my year and quite possibly the future. It unlocked the wondrous wanderlust inside me. You guys are absolutely incredible.
This video felt like a fine tuning of the soul and its alignment with nature in its rawest form. Greenland, I see you ❤

[Complex_Studio]

Lucas & Anna thanks so much for the breathtaking trip to Greenland. 😊 WOW how beautiful is this island with the colorful houses, magnificent icebergs, glaciers & much more. And the baby sled dog was precious. All of your travel documentaries have been spellbinding at the spectacular sights found on planet earth. Hope it will all be preserved. Loved your poem which summed up the meaningful history of Greenland & your voice which is mesmerizing. Thanks you two. Continue to wander & we will continue to follow 👍🏻🙋🏼‍♀️🇺🇸❤️

[idanfuchs]

Lucas, you're the best creator of travel documentary on youtube, by far! Thanks for another great one.. looking forward to see it with a glass of wine in my hand. Cheers!

[MihaelaClaudiaPuscas]

I adore your documentaries! They are excellent quality and beautifully produced! You are so inspiring! Please continue!

[estherwanjiru]

Tell me why am just discovering this channel. This is the best travel documentary channel ever. Much love from Kenya

[marjetapeterlin]

I am bewitched by Lukas's poetic descriptions of the dancing icebergs, endless surfices of untouched ice glaciers, simple and uncomfortable living conditions of Inuits, the howling of resilient and beautiful sled dogs, the iconic views of fjords and the final and unforgettable dance of Lady Aurora. What a soothing antidose to our hectic life and surroundings!

[douglaswalker]

Another fantastic video, thank you so much for bringing such high quality travel videos for the world to enjoy. The amount of effort and quality that you put into all of your stories does not go unnoticed. Safe travels always, cannot wait to see where you decide to go next. One thing is for sure, you never disappoint. USA

[MandyMichels]

Another phenomenal documentary! What a magnificent place - this really inspires me to make a trip. Thank you!

[yosemitedam]

You did it again man. Awesome vid.

I seen Greenland from the air once. It was new years 2004. I was on a military flight that passed over Greenland. I remember seeing the ice sheet below and the Northern Lights. It was almost like we were among them and you could see the lights sort of reflecting off the ice below. It is probably one of the most beautiful images I have ever witnessed. I would love to see Greenland up close.

[felixifloresrodriquez]

No words. Beyond superb video. Thanks for sharing your journey with us all

[dirkhofman]

As always: I enjoyed your documentary. Keep going in doing the good work with the camera.

[MiemKing]

Funny i had to watch this as im going to Tasilaq this summer.. i did think about polar bears & needing a gun as planning to go hiking & camping great narration & documentary 👍

[Sushi]

I knew Greenland was big, but no where this big when I studied in college. I get the same overwhelming feeling about Alaska, and it looks like a postage stamp compared to Greenland.
Enjoy your youth and ability to backpack and rough it. I’m a tree person so will stick with the Alaskan mountains.
But thank you for sharing this Grand Adventure! So kind of you! We must know what we like to understand what might not be our ideal.

[AlienSpaceAngel]

Thank you for the poetry that made my Inuit heart proud and tears to my eyes for this fairytale poem, that was beautiful, well spoken and exactly like that, my homeland 💚
