#22 Greenland: Food tasting and exploring Sisimiut!

In this video I explored Sisimiut, Greenlands second biggest town. The town is located 75 km north of the arctic circle on the west coast of Greenland. Sisimiut literally means "the residents at the foxholes"in Greenlandic. The weather was great with up tp 11°c, cloudy and almost windstill, so we had ideal vlog conditions! Sisimiut is the northermost year-round ice-free port in Greenland and serves a shipping base for western and northwestern Greenland, which means it is very important for the towns and settlements further north. The town is known for the shrimp they hunt in the waters near Sisimiut and they also have a large shrimp / fish factory in the town which. Fishing is the principal indistry in Sisimiut. As you will see in the vlog, I tried some Greenlandic food, including whale. I understand that many of the viewers might be against whale hunting, which I also am. However, you need to understand that a big part of Greenland is in the high arctic and there it's impossible to grow crops and many of the products we take for granted are not easily accessible. Therefore, the population needs to rely on what they find in nature and that includes whale meat. Having said that, a lot of things, like fruits and vegetables, are more accessible in a big town like Sisimiut than in smaller settlements. #greenland #sisimiut #visitgreenland
