In her interview with the magazine « Poles », Henriette Rasmussen, a political figure in Greenland stated :

« In the past, the Inuits knew how to interpret every meteorological change, which allowed them to foresee the weather for the coming days. Nowadays, the weather changes more quickly. The winds are very strong and the ocean currents change too: the icebergs follow unusual routes. Recently, a fisherman told me that the temperature of the sea had risen in certain places, sometimes by several degrees. The change is obvious. It’s a real cause for concern, as our culture has been closely linked to nature for hundreds of years.  When you build a kayak, you adapt it to your body; in this way you become part of the craft, which itself is part of the ocean. The Inuits are an integral part of the ecosystem. What will happen to us if the ice disappears? »

“I am convinced that we will find a way out, as we have a great capacity for adapting, but the situation is alarming.”
