Greenland is the largest island in the world but has a small population of 56,000. Many of these ‘Greenlanders’ live close to the coastline because a large part of the country is covered with ice and glaciers. More than a quarter of all the people live in the capital, Nuuk. Since the 1960s, the country has had economic difficulties and social problems. Its traditional industry -and its biggest -is fishing but the country still imports much more than it exports. Now, however, life is
about to change dramatically for many Greenlanders -and all because of the weather.
