A group of people inhabiting the north of the earth, the Inuit people. They all love fishing. They are European but not European at the same time.
They make clothes and tools from animal skins to survive the extreme cold. Temperatures reach 50 below zero. We went on a trip with a fisherman going about his daily life.
This is. . .
the largest island in the world, Greenland. We arrived at a city in the north of the island called. .
. Ilulissat, which is the most visited city on this island because of the presence of giant icebergs around you everywhere. Icebergs are present all year round, both in summer and winter, and are formed by the calving of this huge glacier next to the city.
Hello, guys. We are in the north. We had to come to the north.
The further north you go on this frozen island, the colder it gets. This is one of the coldest cities in the world. The name of this city means "iceberg.
" In the local language, it means "iceberg. " This is the hotel, and this is the view. Just ice.
It's all frozen rocks. This is one of the most touristic cities here. My hands are freezing while talking to you.
I'm wearing five layers of clothes. You can see the icebergs here. As you know, it was an iceberg that sank the Titanic.
This is the real Greenlandic experience! They have only one cafe and some hotels. Look at this view!
Look, there's a curtain for you to close at night so the neighbors can't see you, but the ceiling is left uncovered so you can see the sky. You can also see the aurora borealis. They say these cabins are the only ones of their kind in Greenland.
You can take a shower here with this view. Unfortunately, there is a high suicide rate here because they always feel like they are second class or less valuable because of what the Danes did to them. The entire island is covered in ice and people live on the outskirts.
All cities are located on the outskirts of the island. That's why there is not a large population here. Glory be to Allah!
This is the first time I've seen this many icebergs, and he told me there are more in the summer. If you want to escape from all the hustle and bustle, come here and enjoy the tranquility. Despite the extreme cold, all schools here are warm.
They belong to Denmark, so they are considered Danes, but at the same time they are not Danes because their origins aren't from Denmark, Denmark somewhat occupies them. Greenland! I feel like I'm in a Japanese school.
Hotel Arctic. This is the hotel we're staying at. I'm struggling to realize that this scenery is real.
What is this city? You can go around the entire city in 10 minutes, but its beauty lies in admiring. .
. its icebergs. Now we're going fishing 4 hours away from here.
It's very windy so we have to change our clothes. This is how they all live, they are all hunters. I had a complete makeover.
Look how I look. It's incredibly cold, the temperature will drop to -30 °C. We are going fishing now.
Look at how they live here, they say this is made of seal skin. Everyone here feels warm thanks to animal skins. It's a large yard filled with huskies.
It's fast, no joke! This reminds me of Siberia. It's freezing!
Look at the icebergs around here! The camera turns off every two minutes. All this to find food.
No! This is our destination, and we’ve reached it now. We will stay there for 6 hours.
. . to pull the fish out from under the ice.
They say that the hook reaches a depth of 800 meters. His son is helping him. Look at fish, they are everywhere.
They say it will yield huge numbers of fish. They will get more than 100 kgs of fish, they say. This is.
. . a fish graveyard.
The more you pull the rod, the heavier it becomes due to the amount of fish. They brought coffee with them in this harsh cold, and they just set up this tent and put a heater inside. The first fish has arrived.
He put the thread on the second machine. This is the first fish. You can see the fish from here.
In the name of Allah. God bless. All this with one fishing rod.
They set this rod 3 days ago and it's made up of over 100 baits with many lines. They say there are still 100 more fish. There are plenty of fish.
Now that they're done, they'll put the baits back in and come back to them in two days. A month from now, this entire area will turn into icebergs and water. You won't be able to walk here, you will need a boat.
There is a sea beneath the ice. They have been fishing for four generations, inheriting the profession from their forefathers. It turns out that they have their own restaurant, so they will not sell the fish in the market but in their restaurant.
They have a chain of restaurants, more than one cafe, and boats. They are rich, God bless, and yet they come to catch the fish themselves. This is something in their blood and they love it.
This fish is called halibut. He's putting the baits back on. Look how many there are.
This fishing rod has many threads. They will bury this fish and return to it tomorrow so that the birds don't eat it. They took a specific type of fish today and will come back tomorrow for the rest.
He will take the rest. . .
to his restaurant. Here comes the transporting stage. They say this is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, so cars cannot come here, not even snowmobiles.
They come here almost every day. Today they invited me and said, “Come and see what our life is like. ” His son is a university student, so after he finishes fishing, he goes directly to university.
It is truly an unparalleled experience. Lastly, they left some fish for the dogs, because it turns out that dogs don't run unless they're hungry, so they only feed them at the end of the day.
