Evening walk in Nuuk ❄️🐕🐾
The light, the quiet, the air -something magical about this place is the evening,
Sometimes a slow walk is all you need to reset.

I met Milak during fieldwork in Uummannaq - calm, curious, and always up for a pet. She now stands at the National Museum, part of Greenland’s living heritage.

Filmed yesterday at the Greenland National Museum for Desafío Ártico with Manuel Calvo Villena.

I spoke about qimmit, Inuit hunting culture, and Arctic heritage.

The mounted dog is Milak, met during fieldwork in Uummannaq.

And yes - practical shoes. 🐾❄️

I was interviewed yesterday at the Greenland National Museum... With expedition leader Manuel Calvo Villena and Milak, a sled dog I met and petted during fieldwork in Uummannaq. Seeing her again, now part of the museum’s collection, was emotional.
