This video is the first release from a month-long international filming and research trip I took this summer. It's a project that's been long in the making. I had the privilege of spending a week in Nuuk, meeting locals, doing research, making observations, and exploring a beautiful and fascinating city. Myself and my brother, Quinn the Cameraman - / @quinnthecameraman - have been working on a number of films about our trip and the countries we visited. Many, though not all, of the photos of Nuuk, Iceland, and Denmark included were taken by us on location. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did making it.

As a Kalaaleq, I must say that this is one of the most detailed, accurate, and well researched documentaries about Kalaallit Nunaat I’ve seen on YouTube. This hour just flew by

Props to you for not doing something already covered extensively. Love it when you stand out. Greenland is super cool.

Love this! As a linguist and Greenland enthusiast, I love that you went out of the way to check the pronunciations of words instead of just making the "sorry for butchering these names lol" joke. I can help you check pronunciations of names for your future videos if you're interested!

I lived in Qaanaaq Greenland for 5 years, it’s the northern part of Greenland. The life in Greenland was extremely hard, due to extreme climate , 5 months of polar night total darkness 24 hrs and of course the midnight sun during summer ( 24 hrs daylight) there are no two towns that are connected by roads . Our transportation is by plane / chopper , and during summer boats and dogsled to nearby settlements.

This really is a masterpiece of detail and a huge bonus that you actually visited. Amazing clip art and maps, really an exemplary statement about the educational potential of YouTube.

Also, kudos to you Carter for the excellent pronunciation of names from such a complicated language

Thank you! I'm almost 37 and ever since I was a kid, I would always take the one Greenland book out from the library, found a VHS tape travelougue online in the 90s, and information was so limited, but I made do with what I could find. I built up quite a collection of vintage books and Greenlandic language music CDs after getting into contact with Altantic Records that was in Nuuk. I always dreamed of going myself, but now I am disabled and would be unable to. Your information and video is the next best thing for me, and I greatly appreciate that.

excellent video as always—and as a linguist who studied kalaallisut for some time, i can say you did a good job with the pronunciations! keep up the great work, i love your videos!

Fascinating! You did a great job on this! My father almost served at the now defunct Air Force base. He applied but was instead stationed only 40 miles from home. I've asked him why he wanted to go to Greenland and he only said "It was far and i knew nothing about it."

I’ve been an avid youtuber for 6 years now and this is among my favorite videos ever. Hell yeah dude. Your format and delivery is phenomenal. Videos like this not only teach me about the topic, but make me think more broadly about the world. You gained a subscriber for life. Can’t wait to check out your other videos

I knew nothing about Greenland. This was a fantastic introduction. Thank you!

I went in August 2010...it was about 62 degrees...flowers right next to permafrost ...people are nice, I it not overly outgoing...buying souvenirs , very costly. I LOVE fish, no problem there...but eating seals, NO THANKS ...but I was visiting and it's there way of life...I really enjoyed staying there...yes they do have a hotel...

By far the best geographic and historic documentary on Greenland. There are 2 Greenland presentations as introductions, yours, and, of course, "Smillas Sense of Snow" about the only major movie about Greenland. My dad was an ironworker who worked at Thule constructing the first of the BEMEWS antennas in the later 1950s. Greenland has been a part of my life ever since. Thanks for this excellent presentation, Wendover should be nervous.

You clearly put a lot of time and effort into producing this documentary. Really well done all around!

Let's do a deep dive into the Faroe Islands next!

I can't believe that I just happily sat through this hour long video on a Friday night when I was about to go out for the night. Great research and presenation. Cheers!
