Are you also tired of the AI slop maps of US bases in Greennland?
I made this map based on a government report. It is depicting US bases registered by the Danish government after the war. A few other bases used during the war are not depicted. The right hand map shows the single base left today.

Greenland is big, but not as huge as it might look.

Grønland er stor, men så stort er det heller ikke.
Jeg har brugt thetruesize.com for at sammenligne størrelser på lande. Et underholdende værktøj som er godt at bruge når man lige skal se hvor stor "stor" er.

This selection is from my own book case and contains field guides. Nice to have on location.
There is only one species of walrus, so the walrus book is more of a general natural-history-armchair-reading-experience.

If you, in any way, is interested in history, exploration or extreme adventures: read about the travels of some of these men (and a few women).
Hunting for food during expeditions, sometimes there was nothing to hunt. They literally had to eat the dogs (there were no cats).

This is such a cool illustration of how the Mercator map distorts the size of Greenland, which looks as big as the whole continent of Africa on that map but is actually the size of Mexico.

When a bad hunting season with no catch happened, the people would know that they were being punished by Sassuma arnaa for not respecting the land and the sea.
Breaking taboos was a very serious issue. Punishments could be severe.

If a taboo was broken, her hair would get filthy and entangle the animals, preventing the hunters from catching food.
The Angakkoq (shaman) would travel to the bottom of the sea to comb her hair and release the animals. She would tell him which taboos were broken and he would bring the message back
